Really like this edition, has both the arabic text and the translation. The translation is solid so far.

Ghazali is an icon "The imbeciles among the masses stand detached from the infamy of this abyss..." "When I perceived this vein of folly throbbing within these dimwits..." doesnt capture how hilarious it is in arabic lol

I take a different position to you on the matter as I think there’s nothing wrong with Aristotelian logic and I’m v fond of the falasifah and the Greek philosophers. I respect Alghazali for his stance and I understand why he used Aristotlian logic.

I also do respect and am fond of the other side like Ibn tayymiah, despite my disagreement.
