Telaah Signifikansi Konsep Manusia Menurut al-Ghazâlî

Abstract

This article explores the Significance of al-Ghazâlî’s Concept of Men. Born at the heyday of Islamic classical rationalism of the tenth century, and after going through series of intellectual adventures that at points bring him to mental breakdown, al-Ghazâlî established himself as an Islamic polymath of towering influence. The writing argues that his thought on spiritualism is a great potential in answering many questions faced by modern man. More specifically, modern man really needs al-Ghazâlî’s theory of integrating senses, reason, and intuition as equally legitimate sources of knowledge.
