Corbin, like Scholem and Jonas, is remembered as a scholar of genius.

Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) was one of the great mystics of all time and made a unique contribution to Shi'ite Sufism through the richness of his personal experience and the constructive power of his intellect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCorbin begins with a kind of spiritual topography of the twelfth century, emphasizing the differences between exoteric and esoteric forms of Islam. He also relates Islamic mysticism to mystical thought in the West. The remainder of the book is devoted to two complementary essays: on \"Sympathy and Theosophy\" and \"Creative Imagination and Creative Prayer.\" A section of notes and appendices includes original translations of numerous Sufi treatises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarold Bloom's preface links Sufi mysticism with Shakespeare's visionary dramas and high tragedies, such as \u003cem\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHamlet\u003c\/em\u003e. These works, he writes, intermix the empirical world with a transcendent element. Bloom shows us that this Shakespearean cosmos is analogous to Corbin's \"Imaginal Realm\" of the Sufis, the place of soul or souls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460148773100,"sku":"9780691058344","price":143.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691058344-alone-with-the-alone.jpg?v=1774944704"},{"product_id":"creative-imagination-in-the-sufism-of-ibn-arabi-by-henry-corbin-9780691615066","title":"Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn Arabi","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA penetrating analysis of the life and doctrines of the Spanish-born Arab theologian.
