Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Ibn 'Arabi, a prominent mystic, significantly influenced Shi'ite Sufism through his profound personal experiences and intellectual insights. Henry Corbin explores the connections between Islamic mysticism and Western mystical thought, drawing parallels between Ibn 'Arabi's concepts and Shakespeare's implied cosmology in works like HAMLET and THE TEMPEST. This comparative analysis highlights the shared themes of the imaginal realm and the "place of souls," enriching the understanding of both traditions. The book includes five plates, two in color.
