Abstract :This study on the subject of Arabic logic claims that its main difference from modern logic stems from the conception of the reasoning (al-fikr). Firstly it presents compartmentalization of Arabic logic. Logical compartments are five universals, the ways of defining, propositions and their judgments, syllogism and five arts/or syllogistic matter. By analyzing quoted excerpts, it reduces Arabic logical thinking to the function of reasoning. In terms of either Arabic logic or modern Logic, logic can be reduced to correct reasoning. When reduced, the fundamental difference appears. The assessment reveals that modern logic relies only on propositional relations, while Arabic logical thinking relies on the dimidiate domain of apprehension and judgment. The aim of the study is also to reveal this. Its suggestion is that if a comparison is to be made between Arabic logic and modern logic, it should start with the concept of al-Fikr. The method used is to put forward a new thesis by synthesizing the data obtained and document analysis used in qualitative research. In addition, it is to resort to textual comparisons. The data was collected through document creation.
