Al-Ghazālī's Method of Doubt and its Epistemological and Logical Criticism
Journal of Islamic Philosophy 4:69-76 (2008)
| Abstract | The method of doubt has been used in philosophy and theology by both philosophers and theologians, among them al-Ghazālī. Al-Ghazālī’s method conveys the process of how he was cured of his epistemological and existential crisis. This study analyzes each phase of the process in terms of epistemology and logic; it explains the problems and how they appeared to al-Ghazālī | |||||||||
