On Jun. 08, 2021, the lecture of Dr Tulemetova will deal with

"Issues of Verification of Scientific Texts in the Works of Islamic Theologians and Philosophers from Bukhara in VIII-XII Centuries."

Abstract:

The purpose of my report is to show how the erudite world of Bukhara convinced listeners and readers of the correctness of their ideas, what verification techniques were practiced in Bukhara during the Samanid era? Verification is the process of confirming the truth of an action, event, item or its quality after testing. Verification is especially valuable in theology, where the question of truth is most acute. For demonstration were taken verification methods used in the works of Imam Bukhari, representatives of the Kalam school, as well as in the philosophical works of Ibn Sino, Farabi and other thinkers.
