The Horizons of Being: The Metaphysics of Ibn al-ʿArabī in the <i>Muqaddimat al-Qayṣarī</i>

Editat de Mukhtar H. Ali
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mai 2020
The Horizons of Being explores the teachings of Ibn al-ʿArabī by examining Dāwūd al-Qayṣarī’s (d. 751/1350) Prolegomena to his commentary on the Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam, popularly known as the Muqaddimat al-Qayṣarī. A masterpiece of Sufism, the Muqaddima is both a distillation of the Fuṣūṣ and a summary of Ibn al-ʿArabī’s entire metaphysical worldview. As such, it is a foundational text that delves into the most important subjects characterizing the philosophical Sufi tradition: Being, God’s attributes, divine knowledge, the universal worlds, unveiling, creation and the microcosm, the perfect human, the origin and return of the spirit, prophethood and sainthood. The present work is a complete translation of the Muqaddima and a commentary that incorporates the ideas of the main exponents of this tradition.

Recenzii

"Bringing together years of immersion into the Akbarian tradition, Mukhtar Ali’s study and translation of Qayṣarī’s famous Muqaddima is erudite, poetic, and profound. It clearly demonstrates why this text has historically been seen as one of the most important expositions of the Sufi metaphysical vision of reality, and also hints at why it should be taken seriously today. The Horizons of Being is therefore nothing short of a tour de force in modern scholarship, and is essential reading for all serious mystics, theologians, and philosophers." - Mohammed Rustom, author of Inrushes of the Heart: The Mystical Theology of ʿAyn al-Quḍāt
