Algazel's Metaphysics - Paperback

by Algazel (Author), J. T. Muckle (Editor)

Algazel's Metaphysics is a philosophical treatise written by the Muslim theologian and philosopher Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali, commonly known as Algazel. The book explores the nature of reality, existence, and causality from a metaphysical perspective. Algazel draws heavily on Aristotelian and Neoplatonic philosophy, as well as Islamic theology, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the universe and its underlying principles. The book is divided into three sections, with the first section discussing the nature of existence and the different categories of being. The second section explores the concept of causality and the relationship between cause and effect. The final section deals with the nature of God and the role of divine providence in the universe. Algazel's Metaphysics is considered a seminal work in Islamic philosophy and has had a significant influence on subsequent philosophical and theological thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
