The epistemological approach of Ibn Taymiyyah

Dr. Abdullah bin Nafi' Al-Daijaninbi Summary This study aims to explore the stages of cognitive and methodological construction of Ibn Taymiyah, and then reach his true scientific image represented in the image of building and creation. This calls for caution against reducing him to the image of the demolishing and invalidating approach, as the author made that methodology consist of three elements: the cognitive instinct, the cognitive reality, and the cognitive unity. He discussed the cognitive instinct in terms of establishment and construction, then the cognitive reality in terms of revelation and effectiveness, and finally the cognitive unity in terms of concepts and issues, thus concluding the book.
