Summary:

"Al-Ghazali's ethical writings are not easily explained by the existing categories and demarcations found in contemporary ethical discourse, so it becomes essential to present what was at the centre of his pedagogy. This book argues that the thread connecting each method of expression is al-Ghazali's dramatic and explicit emphasis on self-control as the path to felicity. It demonstrates that the underlying substrate of al-Ghazali's ethics is his constant focus on restraining and redirecting the body, emotions, and thought"-- Provided by publisher.
