| dc.description.notes | Since the beginning of creation it has been acknowledged among the wise that intelligence and tradition are like a pair of twins, while the reports of intelligence and tradition are like two race-horses, and that logical proof is a staircase and a ladder to the heights of certainty, so that in matters of inquiry and speculation it is the basis of all men's speech and the referee of all things. Some men there are who, seduced by the Slinking Whisperer,' have laid aside proof and through ignorance and folly have deliberately set up surmise and conjecture as a rival to proof. In more questions than one they have fallen victim to the diseases of contention and vain bigotry. Like the fanatical wars in olden time, the futile wrangling of these stupid people has well-nigh led to bloodshed. For this reason these few lines have been drafted in order to demonstrate the method of proof in the questions at issue, and the name Mizan al-hagg ft khtiyär al-ahagg ('The Balance of Truth in Choosing the Most True') has been given to them, so that ordinary people may know what the matters of strife and dispute are, and what manner of fruit they yield. | en_US |
