Description
Al-Ghazali on Disciplining the Soul and on Breaking the Two Desires Books XXII and XXIII of the Revival of the Religious Sciences
This translation explores the spiritual techniques adopted by classical Islam, focusing on the inner struggle against the ego and the pursuit of a pure soul. Two key chapters are presented: On Disciplining the Soul, which examines how to acquire good character traits and cure the sickness of the heart, and Breaking the Two Desires, which addresses the question of gluttony and sexual desire.
The work offers insight into the author's use of Greek and Islamic ethics, and will be of interest to those studying Sufi mysticism, comparative ethics, and the question of sexuality in Islam.
