Islam and Rationality offers an account of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī as a rational theologian who created a symbiosis of philosophy and theology and infused rationality into Sufism, and how his work was received by later Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars.
Al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111) is one of the most influential thinkers of Islam. There is hardly a genre of Islamic literature where he is not regarded as a major authority. Islamic Law, Sufism, ethics, philosophy, and theology are all deeply shaped by him. Yet in the past decades, the field of Ghazālī-studies has been shaken by the realization that Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā, d. 428/1037) and other philosophers had a strong influence on him. Now, after the 900th anniversary at his death, the field emerges stronger than ever.
The two volumes of Islam and Rationality: The Impact of al-Ghazālī bring together leading experts on al-Ghazālī who write about his thought and the impact it had on later Muslim thinkers.
With contributions by: Binyamin Abrahamov, Anna Ayşe Akasoy, Hans Daiber, Ahmed El Shamsy, Kenneth Garden, Avner Giladi, Scott Girdner, Frank Griffel, Steven Harvey, Alfred Ivry, Jules Janssens, Damien Janos, Taneli Kukkonen, Luis Xavier López-Farjeat, Wilferd Madelung, Yahya M. Michot, Yasien Mohamed, Stephen Ogden, Eric Ormsby, M. Sait Özervarlı, Martin Riexinger, Ulrich Rudolph, Ayman Shihadeh, and Hidemi Takahashi.
