Süleyman Hayri Bolay This work, which has reached its seventh edition, broke new ground in some respects in Turkey. Because, until this work, no in-depth comparison of the philosophical views of the great and basic names of Eastern/Islamic and Western thought has been made in our country. Consequently, this study not only sets an example by comparing the metaphysical concepts of Aristotle and Ghazali and the main ideas they contain, but also clearly shows what a great thinker like Ghazali took from Aristotle, what he did not take, and where he opposed his views. demonstrated way. While doing this, he revealed that al-Ghazali's claim that he stopped thinking in the Islamic world is unfounded, and also revealed how he systematically solved the problems he dealt with one by one.
Comparing the two great summits of the world of philosophy and thought in Turkey is interesting to anyone who is interested in the subject. The fact that such a heavily-themed book has reached its sixth edition is a testament to the interest shown to it. We hope that this work, which became a classic before it reached a quarter of a century, will gain the same attention from now on. By reprinting such a work, Nobel Academic Publishing makes a great contribution to our history of thought.
