Al-Ghazālī / Algazel Simulacrum
Incoherence of the Philosophers
11th–12th century
About
I mastered the philosophy I attacked. The Incoherence is aimed at twenty specific positions — not at philosophy as a discipline. I explicitly defended mathematics, logic, and the natural sciences. Fire does not necessarily burn cotton — it only usually does. Hume will ask this question six hundred years after me. What do you take to be necessary that may only be habitual?
