Philosophical Sufism: An Introduction to the School of Ibn al-'Arabi by Mukhtar

Description: Philosophical Sufism by Mukhtar H. Ali Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This volume is a rigorous analysis of the main doctrines of Ibn al-Arab, which dominated spiritual and intellectual life in the pre-modern and early modern Islamic world for over six hundred years. Publisher Description Analyzing the intersection between Sufism and philosophy, this volume is a sweeping examination of the mystical philosophy of Muy-l-Dn Ibn al-Arab (d. 637/1240), one of the most influential and original thinkers of the Islamic world. This book systematically covers Ibn al-Arabs ontology, theology, epistemology, teleology, spiritual anthropology and eschatology.While philosophy uses deductive reasoning to discover the fundamental nature of existence and Sufism relies on spiritual experience, it was not until the school of Ibn al-Arab that philosophy and Sufism converged into a single framework by elaborating spiritual doctrines in precise philosophical language. Contextualizing the historical development of Ibn al-Arabs school, the work draws from the earliest commentators of Ibn al-Arabs oeuvre, adr al-Dn al-Qnaw (d. 673/1274), Abd al-Razzq al-Kshn (d. ca. 730/1330) and Dawd al-Qayar (d. 751/1350), but also draws from the medieval heirs of his doctrines Sayyid aydar mul (d. 787/1385), the pivotal intellectual and mystical figure of Persia who recast philosophical Sufism within the framework of Twelver Shism and Abd al-Ramn Jm (d. 898/1492), the key figure in the dissemination of Ibn al-Arabs ideas in the Persianate world as well as the Ottoman Empire, India, China and East Asia via Central Asia.Lucidly written and comprehensive in scope, with careful treatments of the key authors, Philosophical Sufism is a highly accessible introductory text for students and researchers interested in Islam, philosophy, religion and the Middle East.
