It was later edited, most likely in two stages: First, when Ghazzâlî was still working on the treatise, to add the fifth article of the Physics; second, when Ghazzâlî (or his later disciples) sought to A philosophical odyssey 37 portray him as an opponent of philosophy, to add the introduction and conclusion. The Intentions still bears salient traces of this redaction process. We can draw several conclusions hence about our work and its author. First, Ghazzâlî began the Intentions during his days of philosophical studies and teaching; he did not write it as part of a greater project to attack philosophers.
Lohr 1965, 226. 5 Ghazzâlî tells us that he left Baghdad in 488/1095, having completed two years individual philosophical studies. For a general overview of his life in Ghazzâlî’s own words, see Watt 1953. For a more critical and topical look at Ghazzâlî see Lazarus Yafeh 1975. 6 The Dânesh nâmeh is Ibn Sînâ’s comprehensive work on Aristotelian philosophy, although it is not a direct translation of any Hellenistic work.

Or, is it that particular notions already present in the prophet’s practical faculty are illumined by the Active Intellect so that future consequences of these notions are unconsciously inferred by the prophet and conveyed to his imaginative faculty? Given this latter interpretation, the Active Intellect itself would not know future contingents but activates the prophetic soul to attain such knowledge.
