Al-Ghazali

1100

Al-Ghazali's spiritual autobiography and intellectual testament, tracing his path from a crisis of radical scepticism through the four schools of Islamic thought to his final conviction that only mystical experience (dhawq, "tasting") provides genuine certainty. The work is a classic of religious philosophy and autobiography, comparing in scope and influence to Augustine's Confessions.
