التخيل في النقد العربي القديم

Abstract EN

Although the term "imagination" is known to be used by the philosophical critics group, because it is one of the philosophical narratives, which defined it as that element that works to excite the recipient.

however, we do not lack this concept in the Arabic monetary code before the era of codification and the restriction of the sciences of criticism and poetry.

this suggests that the idea of fiction was known to the critic even if she did not this term.

some researchers believe that the idea of fiction is the daughter of the Arab and Islamic mind, and it carries in its same meaning a narrative of its reproduction.

the critic used to knew and define poetry as a product of its influence, and for this reason poetry was associated with magic as a first introduction to the concept of imagination.
