the theologians themselves they talk about the possibility that miracles are the proof by which prophets are acknowledged. The point is not about propositionality, it is about whether he offers demonstration or just persuasion.īy contrast the question is discussed by others in the Islamic world e.g. By the way I don't think that the imagination or prophecy need to be non-propositional he is primarily thinking of the prophet as a user of rhetorical discourse. In fact he doesn't really take up the question but this is, I think, what he would need to say given his theory. That's why they have to be convinced/persuaded using rhetoric: because they can't assess truth claims on a demonstrative basis. I think he would probably say that the ruler knows he is right since he has certainty (this is something that will be covered in the interview with Deborah Black), and that no one else is in a position to judge.
