Al-Ghazali, Averroes and the Interpretation of the Qur'an: Common Sense and Philosophy in Islam - Culture and Civilization in the Middle East
Wohlman, Avital (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel)
This book examines the contrasting interpretations of Islam and the Qur’an by Averroes and Al-Ghazali, as a way of helping us untangle current impasses affecting each Abrahamic faith. This has traditionally been portrayed as a battle between philosophy and theology, but the book shows that Averroes was rather more religious and Al-Ghazali more philosophical than they are usually portrayed.
