As is well known, ta awwur and ta d q, conceptualization and assent, are essential notions in the epistemology of Arabo-Islamic philosophy. Conceptualization amounts to the definition of an object of knowledge, and assent to the recognition, via some kind of reasoning, that this definition is true. One of the authors who dealt with both topics in greatest depth was al-F r b , whose oeuvre exerted a profound influence on Ibn B jja. This article analyzes the materials on ta awwur and ta d q found in Ibn B jja's notes regarding al-F r b 's writings on logic and scientific method, namely the glosses to Kit b al-Burh n. The analysis shows, on the one hand, that he understood perfectly the importance of both terms in al-F r b 's construal of Aristotle's scientific method; and on the other, that he used them to deal with human thought processes. Indeed, conceptualization and assent were essential notions for Ibn B jja, and underlie some of his best-known works.
