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. The book traces the interaction between two Muslim thinkers, showing how each is convinced of the existence of a Book in which God is revealed to rational beings, to whom He has given commandments,Culture and civilisation in the Middle East.Islamic philosophyIslamic philosophy.181/.07Wohlman Avital.525982Burrell David B159332FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910778427803321Al-Ghazali, Averroes and the interpretation of the Qur'an3816533UNINA
