About this book
The Confessions of Al Ghazzali is presented as a work translated for the first time into English, and its contents list an introduction. The contents list a search for truth, the subterfuges of the sophists, different kinds of seekers after truth, and the aim and results of scholastic theology. The contents give Sufism a separate heading and list the reality of inspiration together with its importance for the human race.
The discussion of truth and error compares the skilled coin-assayer, who separates good coins from bad, with an ignorant rustic who distrusts dealings with a false coiner. The argument distinguishes an unskilled swimmer from an expert diver and a child from a snake-charmer when describing who must be kept away from danger.
