Afḍal al-Dīn al-Khūnajī (d. 1248) was an Arabic logician working in thirteenth-century Cairo. Responding to the logical writings of both Avicenna and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, he produced highly innovative work that set the agenda for the subsequent logical tradition. In this study, the chapter on conversion from Khūnajī’s magnum opus, Kashf al-Asrār ʿan Ghawāmiḍ al-Afkār (The Disclosure of Secrets as to the Obscurities of Thoughts), is translated and provided with a commentary. The chapter serves to highlight, among other things, the way Khūnajī understood a proposition in the essentialist (ḥaqīqī) reading.
