    (1986) Mohamed, Yasien; Hofmeyr, Jannie
    This thesis constitutes an analysis of the Islamic conception of the primary elements of human nature, namely, the heart, intellect, will, soul and psyche. This analysis embraces the major schools of thought within the Islamic tradition. The Islamic conception of human nature is based on the primary Islamic sources, namely, Qur'an, hadith; and is further substantiated by referring to the works of a variety of classical Islamic scholars. The Islamic perspective of the primary elements of man has provided a basis for determining the principles of an Islamic psychology.

    Metaphysical issues in Halakic process
    (1985) Flegg, Asher Arthur; Duschinski. E J; Cumpsty, John S

The extent to which the cogitative assimilation of these data directly affects one and influences one's actions in practice is the extent to which this process has been operationally effective in the concrete translation of thought into action.
