          <dc:description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;This paper will address some issues raised in the insightful contributions to the symposium on my recent book &lt;i&gt;Coherence of the Incoherence.&lt;/i&gt; First, I will examine Davat Dadikhuda’s defense of Ibn Sina against objections Ghazali raises to his proof of cosmic pre-eternity, pertaining to time and the causal relation between God and creation. Second, I will examine a critique of Ibn Sina brought by Nazif Muhtaroglu regarding the distinction between de &lt;i&gt;re&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;de dicto&lt;/i&gt; necessity. Second, I will share some initial thoughts on Ahmed Abdel Meguid’s interpretation of Ghazali’s position on modality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;Other Information&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Published in: Theology and Science&lt;br&gt;License: &lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank"&gt;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;See article on publisher's website: &lt;a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14746700.2025.2514317" target="_blank"&gt;https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14746700.2025.2514317&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
