Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
The concept of human will is one of the key elements that need to be discussed in identifying one's direction in life. Every human action is born out from his will. The concept of human will presented by Abraham Maslow is found to fulfil the necessity of life alone and is unable to achieve human satisfactions. Therefore, the position of the concept of the will of every individual is a priority highlighted in academic studies. This paper discusses the concept of human will according to al-Ghazali and Abraham Maslow, comparing the various elements highlighted by the two figures concerning human will. The study uses qualitative approach and content analysis method, and finds that the concept of human will discussed by al-Ghazali and Maslow are similar in terms of fulfilling the needs of humanity. The difference therein is noticed in terms of the means to meet those requirements to achieve self-satisfaction, the concept of acceptance and ultimate happiness.
