🔖 About “The Incoherence of the Incoherence”
Written in response to Al-Ghazali’s “The Incoherence of the Philosophers”, Averroes defends the use of reason and Aristotelian philosophy in Islamic thought. He systematically critiques Al-Ghazali’s arguments against metaphysics, causality, and the eternity of the universe, seeking to restore philosophy as a legitimate path to truth alongside religious understanding.
🌟 About Averroes (Ibn Rushd)
Averroes (1126–1198), known in the Islamic world as Ibn Rushd, was a philosopher, jurist, and physician from Al-Andalus. His works synthesized Aristotelian philosophy with Islamic thought, influencing both Islamic and Western philosophy during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
