Abstract

Imagination granted literature a distinct existence, a supreme existence, and made it a basis for the construction of its worlds. Despite the specific points of convergence that some tried to look at when talking about these two worlds, (for example, the methodological feature that Roland Barthes referred to among several features in which he found points of convergence between science and literature) (See more about Roland Barthes: Hissing of language, p.14  and beyond) However, the gap is wide between them, as science is the world of facts and realities and it is the product of the mind, while literature is the world of imagination and its source is emotion, that is, the ability to transcend reality to create new places and things. So how did Ibn Hazm reconcile between these two aspects, and what is the extent of the impact of one on the other?
