 131 the definition of foolishness is the use of sins and vices. as for transgression throwing stones and confusion in speech these are nothing but madness and raging bitterness. as for foolishness it is the opposite of reason as we explained earlier and there is no middle ground between reason and foolishness except foolishness.
١٣١ وحد الحمق استعمال المعاصي والرذائل. وأما التعدي وقذف الحجارة والتخليط في القول، فإنما هو جنون ومرار هائج. وأما الحمق فهو ضد العقل وهو ما بينا آنفا، ولا واسطة بين العقل والحمق، إلا السخف.
