{"product_id":"al-ghazalis-moderation-in-belief-al-ghazali-9780226526478","title":"Al-Ghazali's Moderation in Belief","description":"Centuries after his death, al-Ghazali remains one of the most influential figures of the Islamic intellectual tradition. Although he is best known for his \u003ci\u003eIncoherence of the Philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eModeration in Belief\u003c\/i\u003e is his most profound work of philosophical theology. In it\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e he offers what scholars consider to be the best defense of the Ash'arite school of Islamic theology that gained acceptance within orthodox Sunni theology in the twelfth century, though he also diverges from Ash'arism with his more rationalist approach to the \u003ci\u003eQuran\u003c\/i\u003e. Together with \u003ci\u003eThe Incoherence of the Philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eModeration in Belief\u003c\/i\u003e informs many subsequent theological debates, and its influence extends beyond the Islamic tradition, informing broader questions within Western philosophical and theological thought. \u003cbr\u003eThe first complete English-language edition of \u003ci\u003eModeration in Belief\u003c\/i\u003e, this new annotated translation by Aladdin M. Yaqub draws on the most esteemed critical editions of the Arabic texts and offers detailed commentary that analyzes and reconstructs the arguments found in the work's four treatises. Explanations of the historical and intellectual background of the texts also enable readers with a limited knowledge of classical Arabic to fully explore al-Ghazali and this foundational text for the first time. \u003cbr\u003eWith the recent resurgence of interest in Islamic philosophy and the conflict between philosophy and religion, this new translation will be a welcome addition to the scholarship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Al-Ghazali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022652647X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226526478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Al-Ghazali","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995503984895,"sku":"9780226526478","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b3287ed-7de8-4a0d-8f11-1201763110a2.jpg?v=1683336190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/al-ghazalis-moderation-in-belief-al-ghazali-9780226526478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
