The Issue of Truth and Falsehood in Critical Heritage

In this study, we will try to examine a number of opinions that theorized truth and falsehood in the Arab critical and rhetorical heritage, by presenting the opinions of ancient Arab critics and rhetoricians such as (Al-Amidi, Al-Jahiz, Qudamah Ibn Jaafar, Ibn Sinan Al-Khafaji, Al-Qadi Al-Jurjani, Abu Hilal Al-Askari, Ibn Tabataba, Ibn Rasheeq, Abdul Qaher Al-Jurjani, and others) and presenting their different positions on truth and falsehood in poetry and prose, analyzing, evaluating and judging them based on our critics’ view of this issue. Through our re-search, we will try to uncover the veil and remove the ambiguity on this subject, by re-reading this heritage anew in light of what modern studies have reached.
