The falāsifa did not remain as impartial as Goldziher would have them with regard to Šhu‛ūbiyya. The physician and philosopher al-Rāzī (d. 932?), at least, attacked its most genuinely Arabic nucleous when he polemicized against ‛arabiyya, adab, zarf, naḥw and shi‛r, and elevated the characteristically Hellenic philosophical sciences over Arabic philological sciences. In fact, one could consider al-Rāzī's attack as one chapter more of the polemic of Shu‛ūbiyya. Al-Rāzī expressed all of these sentiments in the fifth chapter of his treatise Fī l-tibb al-rūhānī, which is presented and translated here
