A Study In Islamic Epistemology Al-Ghazali
The basic issue that this book will be concemed with is the genette development of Al-Ghazzfiliyy's epistemology. It is my contention that his epistemology evolved through vartous stages.

Gascoigne explores the challenge to epistemology itself and considers two contemporary responses: the turn against foundationalist epistemology in favour of more naturalistic conceptions of inquiry, and the resistance to this response by non-naturalistically inclined philosophers. This contextualization of the sceptical debate gives students a better appreciation of the methodological importance of sceptical reasoning, an analytic understanding of the structure of sceptical arguments (including an assessment of whether the theoretical burden lies with the sceptic or anti-sceptic), and an awareness of the significance of scepticism for other areas of philosophical inquiry.
The second volume in the definitive collection of Foucault's shorter writings. Few philosophers have had as strong an influence on the twentieth century as Michel Foucault. Aesthetics, Method, and Epistemology, the second volume of Essential Works of Foucault, 1954-1984, surveys Foucault's diverse but sustained address of the historical forms and interplay of passion, experience, and truth. Now in paperback, this volume includes commentaries on the work of de Sade, Rousseau, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Roussel, and Boulez.
Today man's mind is under attack by all the leading schools of philosophy. We are told that we cannot trust our senses, that logic is arbitrary, that concepts have no basis in reality. Ayn Rand opposes that torrent of nihilism, and she provides the alternative in this eloquent presentation of the essential nature--and power--of man's conceptual faculty. She offers a startlingly original solution to the problem that brought about the collapse of modern philosophy: the problem of universals.
