| "In The Philosophy of Language in Islamic Legal Theory Nora Kalbarczyk examines the influential jurisprudential work al-Mahsul fi 'ilm usul al-fiqh (d. 1210). By means of a detailed analysis of the linguistic treatise of this work she highlights the impact of the philosophical tradition on Islamic legal theory (usul al-fiqh) in the so-called post-Avicennian era (11th-14th c.). Her main focus lies on a classification of signification (dalala) that can be traced back to Ibn Sina (lat.
