Research Scholar, Middle East Institute, Columbia University & Postdoctoral Fellow, Norwegian School of Theology, Religion & Society

Sami Al-Daghistani will discuss his new book, 'Ethical Teachings of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī: Economics of Happiness,' which explores the interplay of economic philosophy and moral conduct as reflected in the writings of al-Ghazālī (d. 1111), one of the most renowned scholars in Islamic history. He analyses and revives al-Ghazālī’s contribution to economic thought, emphasizing his economic philosophy and its correlation between Sharī‘a’s moral law and the tradition of taṣawwuf.
