Tamhis as a Quest for Pure Truth
Journal Title: Trabzon İlahiyat Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Ibn Khaldun, who critically evaluates the built-in understanding of history, establishes a discipline named Ilm-i Umran. He demonstrates a clear attitude, in his assessments of the importance of revealing the authenticity of historical information (narrative), about the possibility, nature and necessity of evaluating the narrative with objective criteria. Ibn Khaldun creates a concept in terms of separating his own understanding of history from traditional custom: Tamhis-u’l Habar. He completes this with a critical attitude, that is, intikad (critique). According to Ibn Khaldun, who cares about the distinction between history and fairy tale, first historical information and then the transmitters (personality criticism) should be examined. According to him, this is the only criterion that will enable the transmit of knowledge of what happened through a true knowledge. Ibn Khaldun adds the analysis of power and sovereignty to the historical information (narrative) criticism, which spread throughout his work and points out that the narrative is diverted by motives such as slander, interest seeking, and that false information is intentionally produced. In this study, we discuss the possibility of adaptation of Ibn Khaldun’s methodology in sociological interpretation of the media’s function of directing people and shaping news. Thus, in this text, which we try to establish a system of interpretation focusing on the method of Ibn Khaldun, considering the influence of the media’s struggle for power and sovereignty (in the perception-reality dialect), the relation between narration and pure truth is basically questioned.
