Al-Gazali (1058-1111) gilt als einer der einflussreichsten und wirkmachtigsten von der islamischen Wissenschaftstradition hervorgebrachten muslimischen Denker und Gelehrten. Seine Forschungen umfassten weite Felder, was anhand der Vielfaltigkeit seines Werkes mit Bezugen zu ausgewahlten theologischen Disziplinen und den dazugehorigen Diskursen nachvollzogen werden kann. Diese Mannigfaltigkeit spiegelt sich in der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit al-Gazali wider, wie der vorliegende Band aufzuzeigen vermag.
English summary: Al-Gazali (1058-1111) is considered to be one of the most prominent and influential Muslim thinkers and scholars brought forth by the Islamic scientific tradition. His studies covered a wide range of topics, which becomes more than evident when observing the sheer diversity of his work with references to select theological disciplines and their corresponding discourses. Many of his works are still discussed and deemed relevant today, dealing with matters such as philosophy, speculative theology, kalam, fiqh and usul al-fiqh, as well as with questions of ethics, logic and tasawwuf. As the present volume aptly demonstrates, this manifoldness is reflected in the scholarly debate about al-Gazali. In five distinct chapters headed “Al-Gazali Reflected through Time and Religions”, “Al-Gazali and Islam and Science in Dialogue”, “Al-Gazali and kalam and tasawwuf “, “Truth, Logic, Qur’an and al-Gazali” and “Al-Gazali and Scholarship and Philosophy” respectively, our acclaimed authors take a variety of approaches and perspectives to further examine and provide new insights to relevant issues of the debate. German description: Al-Gazali (1058-1111) gilt als einer der einflussreichsten und wirkmachtigsten von der islamischen Wissenschaftstradition hervorgebrachten muslimischen Denker und Gelehrten. Seine Forschungen umfassten weite Felder, wie dies auch anhand der Vielfaltigkeit seines Werkes mit Bezugen zu ausgewahlten theologischen Disziplinen und den dazugehorigen Diskursen nachvollzogen werden kann. Viele seiner Werke werden noch heute rezipiert und befassen sich mit Philosophie, spekulativer Theologie, kalam, dem fiqh und usul al-fiqh, bis hin zu Fragestellungen von Ethik, Logik und dem tasawwuf. Diese Mannigfaltigkeit spiegelt sich in der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit al-Gazali wider, wie der vorliegende Band aufzuzeigen vermag.
