Reflections over the Symposium on <i>Coherence of the Incoherence</i>

<p dir="ltr">This paper will address some issues raised in the insightful contributions to the symposium on my recent book <i>Coherence of the Incoherence.</i> First, I will examine Davat Dadikhuda’s defense of Ibn Sina against objections Ghazali raises to his proof of cosmic pre-eternity, pertaining to time and the causal relation between God and creation. Second, I will examine a critique of Ibn Sina brought by Nazif Muhtaroglu regarding the distinction between de <i>re</i> and <i>de dicto</i> necessity.

Second, I will share some initial thoughts on Ahmed Abdel Meguid’s interpretation of Ghazali’s position on modality.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Theology and Science<br>License: <a href="creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="dx.doi.org/10.1080/14746700.2025.2514317" target="_blank">dx.doi.org/10.1080/14746700.2025.2514317</a></p>
