Abstract

In the upcoming research, we are trying to answer this question with a descriptive-analytical method, why does Ghazali establish an epistemological system with the taste of phenomenology into the truth of the educations of religious life? It seems that Ghazali's skepticism about the validity of the educations of religious life and the falsifiability of theoretical reason in this regard leads him to the educations of this type of life. This causes Ghazali to deal with Sufism in the context of practical reason to achieve certain knowledge. Therefore, Ghazali's skepticism in the field of common sciences of religious life and deviation from theoretical reason in the context of dogmatic metaphysics leads him to the perceptions of practical reason and ethics and ultimately Sufism. Sufism became a means for Ghazali's serious entry into the field of interpretation and interpretation of the world of religious life and common texts in this type of life. Therefore, his tendency towards Sufism and interpretation prepared the ground for the phenomenological approach to the aforementioned sciences to organize an intuitive epistemological system to prove the truth of the educations of religious life.
