Abstract
This part completes the exposition of the state of research on the thought of Abu Hamid al- Ghazali (1058–1111), the greatest Islamic jurist and theologian, which started in the first part of the present paper. This part describes the main approaches to al- Ghazali’s heritage, developed by Russian scholars at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21th century. The author demonstrates that Russian scholars during the aforementioned period conducted a comprehensive analysis of some important parts of al- Ghazali’s philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology and ethics. The author summaries the results of their studies on al- Ghazali’s social and political thought. Moreover, this part of the article examines studies on al- Ghazali’s logic carried out by Russian scholars. The author outlines specific directions for future research on al- Ghazali’s philosophy and theology.
