The Importance of Talid in Islamic Law and Theology

In this first chapter, i want to focus on a concept that has its original home within islam itself. It was used for reaching judgments on the basis of some one else's authority. Such reflection is called icti had, meaning effortful exertion. These were figures like alfarabi, avacena and veres who thought all important beliefs could be established by pure reason. For them, religion was really just a less technical presentation of fundamental philosophical truths in a form that could be appreciated by non philosophers.
