"The Incoherence of Philosophers" On Necessary Causality: Al-Ghazali, Quantum Reality, and Orch OR Theory Of Consciousness

The 11th-century clash between Islamic theologians and philosophers, crystallized in Al-Ghazali’s Tahāfut al-Falāsifa (The Incoherence of the Philosophers), resonates with uncanny relevance in our age of quantum uncertainty and cosmological mystery. Al-Ghazali’s core argument – that observed cause-and-effect is not an immutable natural law but a consistent expression of divine will – was dismissed for centuries as an obstacle to rational inquiry. Yet modern physics, in its relentless dismantling of classical certainties, compels us to re-examine his skepticism through a startlingly contemporary lens.
