"My own intellectual journey ranges from early studies in the scholastic Muslim tradition

with grounding in the classical texts of Arabic grammar, literature, law, legal theory, theology, philosophy, and logic, among other subjects, to an encounter with modern disciplines of the humanities and the social sciences. In trying to make sense of two intellectual traditions while existentially battling racism, colonialism, and imperialism in my own South African community, I have had to struggle with several issues and questions. In more than one way, this book also maps the way I negotiate these questions in the company of Ghazali.
