al-Ghazālī and the Question of Man: With a Particular Emphasis on the Mishkāt al-Anwār

Abstract

In this paper, I explore al-Ghazālī’s understanding of human beings and the impli- cations of this understanding for al-Ghazālī’s entire epistemological and metaphysi- cal project. I argue that al-Ghazālī has two divergent views of the human being, namely the human being as a spatial self and a substantial self, and that, under the influence of Avicenna, he ultimately tends towards the substantial view. However, I also hold that there are some crucial Kalami Asharite elements in the synthesis he achieved, a synthesis which underlies the main form of piety in the orthodox Muslim world , characterizing the post-classical age of the Muslim world
