Al-Ghazzali vs. Plato

Al-gazali's theology of Deliverance from error and Plato's theology of the Cave are both similar in that they both support the idea that humans should separate themselves from their sense in order to reach true understanding but the difference between the two comes from their opposing perspectives. Al-gazali believes that by severing the deceitful understanding of the senses will lead to a better understanding of god whereas Plato takes a non religious approach and claims that it will lead to true enlightenment, or rather a better understanding of the world.

Al-Ghazzali on math and religion

1.) The selections on mathematics and the scientific description of smallpox describes to me that Islamic values do not relate to math and science. It is only man's choice that can prove the logic behind Islamic values, rather than science and math.

2.) According to Al-ghazali, math and religion should should not be separated necessarily. He believes religion should not condemn mathematics, which should also not condemn religion. He believes that if the two errors of mathematics in which man believes religion is illogical because of math's logic and or man believes religion is illogical because other believers in math think it is, becomes nonexistent; then there is no reason for religion and mathematics not to be together as one.
