Abstract

Abstract: Al-Ghazali's definition of "intellect" is of four kinds: a description that gives a person privilege and separates him from the Baha'is, a science that arises in a child who has a discriminating power, and a science that comes from experience, and a science That man predicts every action with the attainment of perfection, he offers various divisions: "theoretical and practical", "worldly and otherworldly", "instinctual and acquired" Al-Ghazali considers the highest human powers and The pro-Sharia force has considered that Khajeh Nasir also defines "intellect" in the general sense as the power of reasoning and divides intellect into "theoretical and practical". In his thought, "intellect" is the highest power of the soul and "rational knowledge" is the highest stage of cognition, and "rationality" is the basis of all human characteristics.
