This research aims at refuting Schoeler’s claim that Hazim al-Qartajanni’s critical ideas were merely a repetition of Avicenna’s perspective on poetry. We attempt to shed light on al-Qartajanni contribution to the concept of poetry, which was not mentioned in a frank manner by Aristotle or his interpreters; al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Averroes. This study aims at providing adequate evidence that al-Qartajanni’s concept of imagery has traversed the critical perspectives of Aristotle and his interpreters about the reality of imagery and its role in the creation of poetry.
