This work is one of Al-Ghazali’s most significant contributions to Islamic philosophy, where he provides a detailed account of the major philosophical ideas of his time. Written as an introduction to philosophical thought, “The Aims of the Philosophers” outlines the positions of ancient philosophers on metaphysics, ethics, and logic. It serves as a prelude to Al-Ghazali’s later critique in “The Incoherence of the Philosophers”, making it essential for understanding his intellectual journey.
