🔖 About “The Incoherence of the Incoherence” (Part 2)
In this second part, Averroes continues his systematic refutation of Al-Ghazali’s attacks on philosophy. He defends the rationalist tradition, emphasizing Aristotle’s concept of the Active Intellect, the role of divine knowledge, and the compatibility of reason with revelation. This text remains a landmark work in the history of Islamic philosophy and medieval thought.
🌟 About Averroes (Ibn Rushd)
Averroes (1126–1198), known in the Latin West as Averroes, was a leading Islamic thinker of medieval Al-Andalus. His works bridged the gap between philosophy and theology, influencing both Islamic scholars and European thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas.
