 At several points al-Fārābī mentions Islamic juridical (fiqhī) discussions; in [Syllogism] 54.5–64.13 he undertakes to show that they can be reduced to Aristotelian syllogisms. He places them with rhetoric rather than with dialectic ([Commentary on Prior Analytics]  510.24–511).[9]  But a comparison between fiqh and al-Fārābī’s dialectic makes better sense, as for example in Gyekye (1989) and Young (2017: 539–543).
