I’ve no time to wait on your feminine games. We leave now.” In true caveman style, he upended her over his shoulder despite her squealed, “Don’t you dare.” “Oh, stuff it. A deal is a deal. I told you I needed your help. You agreed so long as we escaped. Congratulations. We’re escaping. Now, make it good for the cameras, would you? I’ve got a reputation to create. ↗

Asking where memory is "located" in the brain is like asking where running is located in the body. There are certainly parts of the body that are more important (the legs) or less important (the little fingers) in performing the task of running but, in the end, it is an activity that requires complex coordination among a great many body parts and muscle groups. To extend the analogy, looking for differences between memory systems is like looking for differences between running and walking. There certainly are many differences, but the main difference is that running requires more coordination among the different body parts and can be disrupted by small things (such as a corn on the toe) that may not interfere with walking at all. Are we to conclude, then, that running is located in the corn on your toe? ↗

It is for Muslim scholars to study the whole history of Islamic science completely and not only the chapters and periods which influenced Western science. It is also for Muslim scholars to present the tradition of Islamic science from the point of view of Islam itself and not from the point of view of the scientism, rationalism and positivism which have dominated the history of science in the West since the establishment of the discipline in the early part of the 20th century in Europe and America. ↗

من أفضل ما يلخص الفرق بين الدين والفلسفة عند قدماء اليونان مقولة للفارابي (إن اسم الفلسفة خاص عندهم بالعلم الذي تتعقل فيه حقائق الأشياء بذاتها، لا بمثلها، ويتوسل فيه إلى اثباتها بالبراهين اليقينية لا بمجرد الإقناع. أما الملل والأديان فطريقها في التفهيم إقناعي، وتمثيلي) . ورد هذا المعنى عند الفارابي بلغته الخاصة، وهو يرى أن كل تعليم يلتئم بشيئين: التفهيم بالشيء وإقامة معناه في النفس، وإقاع التصديق بما فهم. (وتفهيم الشيء على ضربين : أحدهما أن تعقل ذاته، والثاني بأن يتخيل بمثاله الذي يحاكيه. وإيقاع التصديق يكون بأحد الطريقين: إما بطريق البرهان اليقيني، وإما بطريق الإقناع. ومتى حصل علم الموجودات أو تعلّمت، فإن عُقِلت معانيها أنفسها وأوقعَ التصديق بها عن البراهين اليقينية، كان العلم المشتمل على تلك المعلومات فلسفة، ومتى علمت بأن تخيلت بمثالاتها التي تحاكيها، وحصل التصديقي بما خيل منها عن طريق الطرق الإقناعية، كان المشتمل على تلك المعلومات تسمية القدماء ملة). هذا يعني أن الفرق الأساسي بين الدين والفلسفة بحسب الفارابي، هو في الأدوات المعرفية وليس في موضوعات المعرفة. والواضح أنه يميز بين البرهان اليقيني والإقناع، ويقصد به التصديق بغير برهان. كما أن الفارابي يعتبر الدين معرفة، لكنها معرفة معتمدة في فهم المعنى على الرمز والإستعارة، وتصديقهما (بالإقناع من دون برهان يقيني، وهو الإيمان عند الفارابي). ↗
