The Intellectual Thought of Al-Ghazālī
Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazālī (1058–1111) was one of the most influential philosophers of the classical Islamic period, with his intellectual innovations spanning the fields of theology, logic, and law. Despite this, contemporary assessments of Ghazālī often present him as hostile to rationality, and a guardian of dogma and orthodoxy. This study provides an innovative reassessment of Ghazālī's legacy, offering a compelling depiction of a reformer…

The essay then analyses the national independence movements which defined – through either violent or non-viole…

The Indian national movement and the post-Independence period constitute a comprehensive historical entity comparable to the twentieth century’s major revolutions. We find a specific discursive/practical paradigm with identifiable features, since reproduced in other nation-making experiences. Its intellectual coh…
