The Incoherence of the Incoherence by Andalusian Arab philosopher Averroes (Ibn Rushd) (1126 - 1198) is an important work of philosophy in which the author defends 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 (Tahafut al-falasifa), which criticized Islamic Neoplatonic thought. Originally written in Arabic, The Incoherence of the Incoherence was subsequently translated into many other languages. The book is considered Averroes’ landmark; in it, he tries to create harmony between faith and philosophy.
