Abstract |
Chapter Five The preceding chapters explain the methods and directives for self-control that al-Ghazālī makes use of throughout his ethical writings. Whereas in previous chapters, the techniques he uses to teach the attainment of self-control were explained, in the second section, the aim is to answer the question of why, exactly, he finds the subject of self-control so compelling and urgent. By explaining the aim of his ethical teachings, it becomes possible to demonstrate the fundamental reasons why he focuses so closely on self-mastery. The final chapter tackles questions of theodicy, the rejection of the lower world, love overcoming pleasure, Divine grace and human action, and the resulting complete awareness of God’s all-encompassing presence. |
