Abstract

I will try in this article to clarify the two concepts of Yaqin / Certitude in al-Gazali’s philosophy and to shed light on the aspects of similarity and dissimilarity between the two concepts. al-Gazali distinguishes between the concept of intellectual certitude and the concept of the stage beyond the intellect, which I will call post-intellect certitude.
