FC: What book did he write that described Aristotle's thoughts on God? The Opinions of Philosophers
DC: If it is that al-Ghazzali's uncertainty was what caused him to have a breakdown, do you think that can happen to any of us? Does uncertainty actually cause us to have a mental breakdown and if so how far can we get?

Definitely. I feel like if something is unclear to you and you are not sure about it then frustration will come about sooner or later causing a breakdown.
