Reading The Spiritual Physick | Alexandria
Read The Spiritual Physick by Al-Razi. Challenging medieval dogma, Al-Razi's radical treatise champions reason over blind faith, arguing that self-knowledge - not scripture - leads to enlightenment. His bold claim that suffering exists to wake us from complacency resonates today, when comfort often breeds stagnation. Through systematic self-examination, he suggests, pain becomes our greatest teacher.
