In Tahafut-Al-Falasifah, Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali tackles the perceived contradictions between philosophy and Islamic teachings, demonstrating the limitations of human reason in understanding the mysteries of the divine.
In his Tahāfut, al-Ghazali aims at addressing this claim of apodeixis or demonstration (Arab. “burhān”) in the metaphysical sciences. While he acknowledges that demonstration is possible in such sciences as geometry, for instance, he denies its possibility in metaphysics.
