Al-Ghazali (1058-1111 CE) is arguably one of the most influential
thinkers in the history of Islam and his writings have received
greater scholarly attention in the West than those of any other
Muslim scholar. This study explores and important dimension of his
thought that has not yet been fully examined, namely, his polemical
engagement with the Ismailis of the Fatimid and early Alamut
periods. Al-Ghazali's debate with the Ismailis constitutes an
important chapter in the history of Muslim thought and this book
also explores the wider intellectual and political significance of
this encounter, and especially the light it sheds on the central
tensions and questions of the age in which al-Ghazali lived.
