Hayawic Logic of Form (Arabic: المنطق الحيوي التوحيدي للشكل), also referred to as Hayawic Logic or UniLogic, is a philosophical framework articulated by Raiek Alnakari during the 1970s and 1980s. The theory proposes a dynamic interpretation of “form” as a relational and process-oriented principle rather than a fixed metaphysical structure. It emerged within Syrian intellectual debates in the late twentieth century and has been discussed in academic contexts.

Conceptual outline

edit

Hayawic Logic presents “form” (الشكل) as a relational configuration characterized by movement, containment, probability, and relativity.[1]

The framework articulates five general principles describing entities as form-structured, dynamic, inclusive, probabilistic, and relative.

Intellectual reception

edit

The framework was debated in Syrian literary and philosophical circles during the 1970s.

In 1974, Jalal Farouq al-Sharif published a critical analysis of the hayawic framework in the journal Al-Mawqif al-Adabi.[2]

Maurice Janji examined the theoretical premises of the concept in his article “المادية الديالكتيكية في «الأيديولوجية الحيوية»,” published in Al-Maʿrifa.[3]

A symposium held at the University of Damascus Department of Philosophy discussing Al-Insān Shakl was reported in the Syrian newspaper Al-Baʿth (22 October 1974).[4]

In 1978, Muhammad al-Rashid devoted a chapter entitled “Wahdat Wujūd Ḥayawiyya” in his book Wahdat al-Wujūd fī al-Taṣawwuf, published by the Syrian Ministry of Culture, examining conceptual intersections related to hayawic thought.[5]

Michel Seurat referred to a movement associated with Raiek al-Nuqarî in La Syrie d’aujourd’hui (1980), describing it as initially philosophical in orientation before acquiring a political dimension.[6]

Mahmoud Istinbuli later discussed the framework in “Qiwā al-Tajdīd wa-l-Inghilāq fī al-Manṭiq al-Ḥayawī” (1989), situating it within debates on renewal and closure in contemporary Arab thought.[7]

A doctoral study by Ammar Ayyash (Université de Ouargla, 2017) examined the epistemological dimensions of Hayawic Logic within contemporary Arab philosophical discourse.[8]

Academic activity in the United States

edit

In 2000, Raiek Alnakari co-authored with David C. Rine a paper presented at the IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, addressing a four-valued logical model for communication analysis.[9]
