Islam and Sufism

Al-Ghazali's Philosophical Theology

by Frank Griffel

Griffel reconstructs al-Ghazali's life with new precision and argues that he absorbed much of Avicenna's philosophy into Ash'ari theology rather than destroying philosophy. The book is central to the modern reassessment of al-Ghazali's place in Islamic intellectual history.
