كتاب فلسفة الغزالي - عباس محمود العقاد

If al-Ghazali (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Are you a philosopher? What may be his answer, see?
The philosophy in that era was meaningless, which we understand now in the present age, and the meaning that he wanted to put the word humble of them, and did not want to describe themselves with wisdom and convinced Love of wisdom, the meaning of the word philosophy in Greek as is known.
In the era of al-Ghazali, this meant that it was a worthy word of response, and his departure from the debate was an argument and proof. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to discuss it as the "philosophers' rush" as if it meant the rush of philosophy at all.
