مَنْطِقٌlogic

Example sentences

• والمنطق نفعه قليل، وضرره وبيل،

  Logic has little benefit, but its harm is severe.

  وَالْمَنْطِقُ — and the logic. 'and logic,' the topic of the sentence (the -u), fronted. What is said about it comes in two little verb-less clauses — 'its benefit [is] little, its harm severe' — each built without any verb 'is'.

• وبنوه على العقل والمنطق

  and built upon reason and logic.

  وَالمَنْطِقِ — and logic. Joined by 'wa-', this shares the genitive of 'reason', adding the second foundation — formal logic. Coordinated objects of a preposition match in case, so it wears the same ending. Together they mark the rationalist basis the author is criticizing.
