Who this is
“The most celebrated professor in the Islamic world lost the ability to speak mid-lecture, walked away from everything, and came back a decade later with a verdict on reason's limits that reshaped a civilization.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Reason is a magnificent tool that cannot prove its own foundations, cannot see necessity in nature, and cannot deliver the deepest kind of knowing — which comes only through practice, transformation, and what he called taste.”
