This book argues that the thread connecting each method of expression is al-GhazÄlī’s dramatic and explicit emphasis on self-control as the path to felicity. It demonstrates that the underlying substrate of al-GhazÄlī’s ethics is his constant focus on restraining and redirecting the body, emotions, and thought.
