Al-Ghazālī’s Political Thought and Other Essays on Hujjatu’l-Islām

This compilation of essays is a rich study which contributes a variety of new perspectives on al-Ghazālī’s philosophy to a growing field of study. The contributors examine diverse aspects of al-Ghazālī’s thought and writings that have yet to receive sufficient scholarly attention, while also contextualizing his work in the broader historical realities of al-Ghazālī’s time. Several of the studies in this volume describe al-Ghazālī’s influence on developments that shape modern philosophy and elements of modernity. The new insights offered and the clarity with which arguments have been structured in this book make it a highly welcomed addition to Ghazālīan studies.”
