چکیده:
Ghazzali has viewed pleasure as perceiving what is desirable and has given it in different types of: sensible and hearty، sensible and non sensible، external and internal، sensible and intellectual، intellectual and bodily. He has viewed human pleasure growth to be in five steps and known five elements for distinguishing them including those of the faculty of perception، perceptions، the meanings perceived، species difference and difference in power and weakness. Abu Hamid has followed Farabi in his view on pleasure and his little attention to Avicenna`s two definitions of pleasure can be regarded as a defect in his study. Furthermore، different divisions of pleasure in Ghazzali may be reduced into one. Lack of distinction between heart and intellect in his view can be regarded as a failure.

Then, after stating two premises to explain cardiac pleasure, by citing the verse "افمن شرح الله صدره للاسلام فهو علي نور من ربه" (Az-Zumar, 22), he again emphasizes the lack of distinction between the intellect and the heart; but in the continuation of the discussion, he says: the human heart possesses a special quality with which it perceives meanings that are neither imaginary nor sensory, and through this, man is distinguished from other animals (Al-Ghazali, 1427, pp.
In the classification of sensory and intellectual pleasure, Al-Ghazali, by stating that food and the pleasure of the rational faculty lie in the perception of intelligibles, but some humans, due to immersion in desires and bodily preoccupations, do not benefit from this pleasure (ibid.
