Abstract

 This artical aims to highlight the extent of Greek philosophical influence in qudamah lbn jaafar's book "naqd al-shiir" through two mechanisms: analysis and synthesis. Qudamah derived these two methodological mechanisms from Greek philosophy and applied them on the Arabic poetry . because he lived in the golden ages that witnessed a qualitative shift of the old Arabic critical discourse, thanks to such as and "rhetoric" , "poetics" , "logic" , etc. which ameliorated they played a major role in deepening the of qudamah's critical experience. They have also broadened his critical horizon, by approaching the nature of the literary phenomenon and understanding its qualitative characteristics. Ibn jaafar then tried to regenerate the critical awareness in the Arab environment, when he presented solution to some of the criticism problems at that time based on those critical and philosophical mechanisms.
