Homework 11/20

Tonight, let's look at what the Sufi Philosopher Al-Ghazali to say.

If needed, re/read 365-368 about Islamic Culture and values.

The first selection by Al-Ghazali is called On the Separation of Math and Religion.  Read all of the first reading and answer the two questions on your blog.  The second selection is called Deliverance from Error - it's long I know, but you're only responsible for reading paragraphs 1-17 (sounds terrible, they aren't long paragraphs).

Finally, answer the following question on your blog (it can be the same post as the first answers):  In what ways is Al-Ghazali's thinking similar to Plato's Allegory of The Cave?  In what ways do they diverge?

ALSO - Baghdad pamphlet due.

Coming down the pipe (Prepare yourselves):
CH 14 Quiz on Monday.
