Imam Ghazali an intellectual and spiritual giant, I really enjoy your work, you put so much thought and work into thees videos may Allah bless you with much success
inconsistencies and limitations of some philosophers like Hegel and Kant. Here's a breakdown of your points and a more nuanced perspective: * Eurocentric Bias and Focus on Western Philosophy: This was a common problem in 18th and 19th-century philosophy. Thinkers often viewed Western thought as superior and neglected the rich philosophical traditions of other cultures. This biased approach led to incomplete and inaccurate understandings of world history and philosophy.
@@isamkamel You are right even today in Pakistan we have people in Pakistan that blindly follow western philosophy and think that West is best, white is right and so is there philosophy.
Kant speaking with an American accent to reflect modernity’s emphasis on reason and humanism while al-Ghazali adopting a British one to illustrate authority derived from teachings of antiquity primarily founded upon primacy of Divine law and precepts
Great discussion - can you make one between Ibn Arabi and Plotinus - they have a lot in common but will be very interesting to have these two great unitarians in a discussion
Awesome work thank you for your time and efforts! The enlightenment in Germany was the product of the islamic influence. This is well documented and explained.
As a Hindu I say it is disrespectful to compare the two imam Ghazali is on another level and incomparable to any western philosopher he is even much greater than most Indian mystics and saints
@@ABCshake Sufis are the proponents of Sufism the greatest spiritual legacy in history of mankind with literally millions of great sufi from Africa to china and from Indonesia to Europe... Even india is dotted with sufi shrines if western world was so rich in spirituality and their philosophers so great then their people wouldn't be searching the lanes of indian streets in search of gurus and guides?
I enjoyed the video but I do think Al Ghazali was slightly misrepresented. He did not advocated perennialism, rather reason should be used to come to the conclusion that Islamic revelation is true and then through that revelation you gain access to metaphysical truths
What did Al-Ghazali mean by 'revelation'? The Koran? Or was he saying that the Creation itself is a revelation? If the former, then one man's revelation is another man's absurdity.
Let me establish the source of “Transcendental apperception”. Quran(only scripture with 100% preservation/accuracy) says:”Allah:there is no deity worthy of worship except he”:The Neccessary life/consciousness,sustainer of life/consciousness.” Wire like neuronal structures that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters in the CNS/PNS possess no attribute of thinking/life and yet that has “randomly” led to life. Consciousness/thinking is an innate idea(“Fitra”)that is distinct from carbon skeleton and yet the materialist scientist believes that chemistry turned into biology(abiogenesis) via “god of randomness”/”Emergent property”/”law of nature”. Limited/Imperfect Consciousness can only stem from Necessary Consciousness (Allah-One/Indivisible/All-Loving/Self-Sufficient Infinite Perfection)…

If u say that every mushroom is poisonous then you will not eat poisonous mushroom coz u consider all mushroom poison but still it is false to say every mushroom is poisonous even if it gives results of saving you from eating poisonous mushroom
Not keen on the divine revelation argument. Why bring an unprovable entity into the argument. Al-Ghazali’s arguments are god-centric and therefore dull. He brings a higher being into the picture and demands subservience. This compounds the reason discussion while bringing religion into it. He certainly didn’t want to upset the Islamic community.
The very fact that you have reason is suggestive of a higher entity. If there was no higher entity, there would be no creation - and even if we suppose there was, chaos and randomness would ensue, not causation and order.
It is incorrect to suggest Al-Ghazali was anti-reason.
this video says that…..?
he was😮
@@musalone1405 no he wasn't against reason, I have read his works and have found otherwise. Read his Ihya ul Uloom ud din...
He was, even ibn Rushd said so.
@asha802 "even ibn rushd" didn't, only ibn rushd criticized him and his criticism has been dismantled by many.
Another gem of a video. Thanks a lot

You are doing a great job here guys. Keep it up 👏
The scripting and effort put from one slide to the other is appreciated!
I think It is a Must for this content to be published also in Arabic
Revelation is a product of human contemplation.

if you bring together kant, hume and descartes maybe you can reach to the a single strand from ghazalis’ beard lol

100% Fact
How so? Immanuel is one the greatest philosophers in the Western tradition. Read his Critique of Pure Reason
@@ABCshake have you read anything book of Imaam Ghazaaly رحمه الله?
I read parts of his Incoherence of the philosophers. I still prefer Kant.

Brother can you do some of ibn watin books
I am a Muslim. However, I surmise that Al Ghazali’s arguments lack strong reasoning
You already trust the video ha??
U are dumb
You're not Muslim are you?
Lol.. stop it
Salam alaikum Kevin Davidson 😂😂😂
People don’t believe everything you see on the internet.
Imam Ghazali ❤️😌

Its the other way around. Imam Ghazali was way older than Kant. Just saying. Kant challenged those ideas of Islamic philosophy.
