    Classic that has long gone out of print. Excellent book!

    I highly recommend you download a copy as this book is very hard to find.

  • "Tahafut al-tahafut", incohrence of the incoherence, is Averroes, and the incoherence can be submersive, but one way to come out of it is by the light and course of the Moon. Ex luna scientia. For example, we just had a November lunar eclipse not long ago that Thales could have predicted, if he had been here more directly among the material things of experience and consideration and so forth.

    "So what and why bother", some may say? Who wants to be as weird as the Moon or ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic controlled NASA? But the nature of the eclipse is illustrative of some basic facts, like which way the Moon goes around the Earth and in what time, and why or why not, if perhaps for some reason, which is not due to so-called Newtonian "gravity" in any case, as "gravity" is not any lateral force. 

    Besides proving ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic controlled NASA wrong, the Moon may sift out other matters like the forms and universals, and the ideas and numbers, and the frequencies of them, which Aristotle, oddly enough for being so smart and difficult, mishandled like a clutz.

    Thank you!

    I was just thinking about this book a few days ago, that I need to read it to my older kids. Why? Bishop Williamson chose this book for table reading at the Seminary and I learned a lot from this book. It really shows where all the specific errors of the Modern World came from.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    You're welcome!

    Early on in my catechism classes I mentioned to my priest I was interested in learning more in the realms of philosophy and psychology and he recommended this book and Thomas P. Neill's other book "They Lived the Faith." 

    Fr., being the wise priest that he is, told me that this book is great for the beginning student of philosophy because "often people want to read and learn the erroneous philosophies first. But in order to understand philosophy correctly and recognize errors you must first learn good philosophy. This book will save you the time of ever having to read bad philosophy."
