Episode 13: Ibn Rushd and Ghazali on Divine Power and Knowledge

This the second part of our exploration of Ibn Rushd's accusation that Ghazali and the Ash'aris use unsound analogies between the temporal and eternal in their understand of God's attributes. Here, we focus on Ghazali's contention that God's knowledge is distinct from His power because it conforms to, and is not the cause of its object as Ibn Rushd holds.
