BOOK REVIEW DISCUSSION: AL-GHAZALI'S PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY With author Professor Frank Griffel [Yale University, USA]and hosted by Imran Iqbal [Whitethread Institute - whitethreadinstitute.org, UK]
Date and time: Thursday 25th February 2021 @4pm UK/London
ABOUT: The Muslim theologian al-Ghazali, who was active at the turn of the 12th century in Iran, Iraq, and Syria, was one of the most influential theologians of Islam. In this book, Frank Griffel will present the most comprehensive examination to date of the life and thought of this important figure. The book is divided into two parts. In the first, Griffel gives an account of what it known about al-Ghazali's life, offers brief discussions of his major works, and examines the legacy of his thought by tracing the lineage of his students and followers. In the second part, he provides a systematic exploration of al-Ghazali's theology. He explicates al-Ghazali's views on epistemology, cosmology, physical theory, creation, ethics, theodicy, and a host of other topics. Throughout, he offers a serious revision to traditional views of al-Ghazali, showing that his most important achievement was the creation of a new rationalist theology in which he transformed the Aristotelian views of thinkers such as Avicenna to accord with motives that were well-established within Muslim theological discourse. The result is the most thorough available examination of a major thinker.
Speaker/Presenters: Professor Frank Griffel [Yale University, USA]Frank Griffel is Professor of Islamic Studies. His research and teaching is on the intellectual history of Islam, its philosophy and theology (both classical and modern), and the way Islamic thinkers react to Western modernity. Much of his published work covers the contribution that al-Ghazali (d. 1111) made to the development of Islamic theology and the history of philosophy, be it written in Arabic, Latin, or Hebrew. Frank Griffel is the author of “Apostatsie und Toleranz im Islam” (2000, in German) and “Al-Ghazali’s Philosophical Theology (2009).” He has translated works by al-Ghazali and Averroes and is the editor of three collective volumes. Currently Griffel conducts a research project on the formation of post-classical Islamic philosophy in the 12th century. For more information on his publications go to: religiousstudi...
