Item description from seller

183 p. A very good copy. - Out of the Preface: This volume completes a trilogy of works in which the vision of Henry Corbin plays a central role. In the first, The World Turned Inside Out: Henry Corbin and Islamic Mysticism (2003), I tried to present an account of his thought that would serve as an objective and sympathetic introduction for the general reader. In this, as in the second book, Green Man, Earth Angel: The Prophetic Tradition and the Battle for the Soul of the World (2005), I have been less concerned with presenting a balanced view of the details of his position, and more with how we might interpret and appropriate some of the powerful ideas that he presents. Corbin was a mystic, a philosopher, and a theologian of the first rank as well as a prodigious scholar of Islam a figure whose breadth and depth of knowledge presents difficulties for many people who could benefit from the liberating spiritual guidance his work contains. I hope that I have neither oversimplified nor misrepresented his work. I like to think that I have made some of his central ideas more accessible than they would otherwise have been. The thoughts presented here are the fruit of my personal encounter with Corbin's vast intellectual endeavor. These essays are meditations which have his work as theit primary inspiration. A wise friend of mine, hearing of my first book on Corbin, said, "I see that you have become the student of a student of Sufism." I am not sure that I can claim even that. I stand in awe of Corbin's scholarship, but I am not myself a scholar of anything in particular. Yet I have spent some time trying to make his work clear to myself, and I have been delighted that the results of the effort have been useful to others. His book on Ibn 'Arabi, Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn 'Arabi (1969), remains, I think, the best introduction to his thought. It is a masterpiece of beauty and inspirationan initiatory experience well within the capacity of any serious reader, and more worthwhile reading than anything that I have written. -- Contents: Mystical Poverty and the Theory of the World -- The Un-Refused Feast -- Tha Flame of Things -- The Cross of Light -- Touching Grace -- Words of the Heart -- A Personal Story.
