The Incoherence of the Incoherence

The Incoherence of the Incoherence (Arabic: تهافت التهافت Tahāfut al-Tahāfut) by Andalusian Muslim polymath and philosopher Ibn Rushd (Arabic: ابن رشد, romanized: Ibn Rushd, 1126–1198) is an important Islamic philosophical treatise[1] in which the author defends the use of Aristotelian philosophy within Islamic thought.

It was written in the style of a dialogue against al-Ghazali's claims in The Incoherence of the Philosophers (Tahāfut al-Falasifa), which criticized Neoplatonic thought.

The book is considered Ibn Rushd's landmark; in it, he tries to create harmony between faith and philosophy.

The text was dramatically successful, and marked a milestone in the ascendance of the Ash'ari within philosophy and theological discourse.

Ibn Rushd attempted to create harmony between faith and philosophy, between Aristotelian ideas and Islam.

The Incoherence of the Incoherence was written by Ibn Rushd (statue in Córdoba , Spain ).
