Ghazali and the Poetics of Imagination (Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks)
"Illuminating. . . . One of the most original and provocative stud[ies] of al-Ghazali yet to have been produced by a Muslim."--The Muslim News"An exciting and ambitious work. It is also deeply textual and traditional. . . . Has much to offer and is an exemplar of the work of a committed and engaged Muslim intellectual."--Journal of the American Oriental Society"The novel, and indeed groundbreaking, character of this work . . . assures that the readers not only discover Ghazali as an interlocutor, but overhear centuries of exchange as well."--Modern Theology"Makes us encounter fresh ways of thinking of and listening to Ghazali's texts."--JRAS"Moosa demonstrates the contemporary relevance of one of the greatest thinkers in Islam. . . . Spellbinding."--New Statesman"Moosa's study breathes of an intellectual spirit that is rare in modern Muslim thinking.  Creativity, imagination, philosophical sophistication, intellectual perspicacity and ideational fecundity are all found aplenty here."--Muslim World Book Review"[Moosa's] nuanced understanding of Ghazali's world allows us to enter the dihiliz ('a passage way') into the intellectual/spiritual edifice that Ghazali built. . . . Interesting, informative, and a great read."--Theological Studies
