دور الغزالي في ترسيخ الاتجاه النقدي للفلسفة المشائية في الفكر الإسلامي

Abstract EN

This paper focuses on revising the false statements about al-Ghazali by highlighting his renewal efforts in deepening the critical trend in Islamic philosophy, which was produced from outside the Aristotelian paradigm.

This trend which al-Ghazali was one of its pioneers, directed its critics to the ideas of former philosophers, especially the Muslim Aristotelian School.

He then categorized and criticized the Aristotelian school, focusing more on the critique of its metaphysics and cosmology, while accepting mathematics, logic and experimentation.

The paper also shows that al-Ghazali presents a model of an intellectual independence, a conscious acculturation, which takes a critical stance and accepts what he sees true and rejects what he sees false, without feeling inferior towards the other.
