Infant reasoning can be called text-oriented reasoning. Irfani's systemology itself is that the knowledge obtained is not based on texts such as bayani, but on kasyf, the disclosure of the secrets of reality by God. while burhani does not rely on the text at all, nor does it relate to experience, but burhani relies on the power of reason which is done with the postulates of logic.
Hasan Hanafi and al-Jabiri's thoughts above show a similarity in their goal to deconstruct classical Arabic thought.
Hassan Hanafi considered himself a failure and only gave discourse on Islamic renewal. because at the beginning of his intellectual career he strongly supported the Muslim Brotherhood movement which at the time he was led by Sayyid Qutb, a movement based on the ideals of actualizing the values of the Qur'an and hadith. But, in the end he left the Muslim Brotherhood and made his thoughts tend to be utopian (imaginary). The occidentalis who was the culmination of his thoughts were driven by Ikwanul Muslimin, instead he finally left the movement. The Islamic Left (al-Yassar al-Islami) as its support for the movement also ran aground in the middle of the road, where Hassan Hanafi never echoed the concept to defend the Ikwanul Muslimin movement.
Unlike al-Jabiri, he remained consistent in his defense of his thoughts in order to reconstruct classical Islamic thought in order to rebuild Islamic civilization.
