Summary/Abstract: This study explores Abu Salt Dani (d. 579/1134) and Ibn Tumlus’s (1160-1223) examination of propositions. Firstly, it examines Abu Salt Dani’s views on propositions, which can be summed up in four main categories: quality of proposition, quantity of proposition, mutuality of proposition and modality of proposition. Contrary to the approaches of most Muslim logicians, he starts his survey with all types of modal proposition, which can be classified in four main categories: absolute, possible, necessary, impossible. Secondly, it examines Ibn Tumlus’s views on proposition. Ibn Tumlus also examines quality of proposition, quantity of proposition, mutuality of proposition and modality of proposition. Furthermore, he examines, simple, component and conditional propositions. Finally, it will compare the approaches of these two logicians.
