Al-Ghazali, Averroes and the Interpretation of the Qur'an: Common Sense and Philosophy in Islam - Culture and Civilization in the Middle East 1st edition
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.
