Sufi Metaphysics and Qur’anic Prophets

Description

Sufi Metaphysics and Qur’anic Prophets

The “Grand Master” Ibn ‘Arabi makes a renowned summary of metaphysics in Fusus al-Hikam. Is a work of great complexity both in its ideas and its style; and, over the centuries, numerous commentaries have been written on it. In Sufi Metaphysics and Quranic Prophets; Ibn’ Arabi’s Thought and Method in the Fusus al-Hikam, Ronald Nettler examines ten chapters from the Fusus which exemplify the ideas, method and perspective of the entire work.  Concentrating on a detailed analysis of the text, the author brings out the profound connection and also integration of scripture and metaphysics in the world-view of Ibn Arabi. Sufi Metaphysics and Qur’anic Prophets serves in the overall understanding of Ibn Arabi’s thought.
