Tools For Detecting Rationale
No problem – we all make mistakes. What Ghamidi sahab is saying in the above video about bina-e-istadlal (basis of an argument) would hopefully become much clearer when you watch the Zaviya-e-Ghamidi series linked below. In short, humans have three fundamental sources of knowledge – empirical evidence, intellect, and established history. When gauging an argument, we can determine the soundness of that argument by determining whether or not it uses one of these three sources as it’s basis. If it does then we can investigate the argument further, however a lot of times, arguments are based on pure conjecture. After watching the series below if you still have a question in this regard, please don’t hesitate to post a new question.
