پيوند اخلاق و سياست در انديشه غزالى

The Intertwining of Ethics and Politics in Ghazzali's Though

انديشه سياسى وى، آميختگى اخلاق و سياست است. او از دريچه مذهب و اخلاق به سياست مى نگرد؛ از اين رو سياست در نظر او علم قدرت و كسب قدرت نيست، بلكه وسيله اصلاح خلق و هدايت آنها به سوى سعادت دنيوى و اُخروى است. آرا و انديشه هاى غزالى را مىتوان در دو بخش خلافت و سلطنت مورد مطالعه و تحقيق قرار داد.

Abu Hamed Mohammad Ghazzali is a great Muslem intellectual and Faqih in the fifth century(AH). An outstanding feature of his political thought is the intertwining of ethics and politics. He views politics from the perspective of religion and ethics. Thus, politics, in his view, is not the science of power and of how to attain power, but the means for moral improvement and guiding human beings to salvation in this world and the other world. His ideas can de studied in two ways: Sultanate and Caliphate.
