الإنتاجُ الأدبي مجالُ بحثٍ وتحليلٍ واسعٍ ينبضُ بإيقاعِ الحياة، ويُصوّر مُختلف زوايا المُجتمع، ويُعبِّر عن التّفاعل الإنساني في بيئاته المُتعدّدة. وحيث أنّ اللغة العربيّة بحاجةٍ إلى تغييرٍ نوعي في طُرقِ تعليمها لأبنائها أوّلاً وللناطقين بغيرها ثانيًا، فمِن المُفيد النّهوض بمنهجيّاتِ تدريسها، وتطوير المُحتوَى ليعرض خصائص اللغة وثقافتها - وَجْهي العُمْلة - بتقديم نماذج أدبيّة جاذبة، وبحرصٍ على مُواكبة التّطوّر السّريع الذي يشهده العالم في مجالِ تعليمِ اللغاتِ واكتسابها.

After extolling the virtues of having a profession in general and of medicine in particular, Ibn Hindu (d. 423/1032) discusses various disciplines that a medical student should be familiar with, including a lengthy digression into philosophy and logic. He then deals with matters specifically medical, devoting separate sections to anatomy, diseases, pulse, and names of medicinal substances.
