Description

Review A biographical study of how the teachings of medieval Muslim mystics found new meaning in the artistic underground of Belle Époque Paris, this fascinating volume explores the cross-cultural encounter between one society's traditions and another's avant-garde. Nile Green, Professor of History, University of California, Los Angeles, and author of Sufism: A Global History (2012). Anarchist, animal rights activist, artist, and Sufi mystic, Ivan Aguéli travelled the world in his quest for knowledge. Anarchist, Artist, Sufi brings the life of this remarkable visionary to light in a multifaceted study that is stimulating, insightful, and path-breaking. Allan Antliff, Professor of Art History and Visual Studies, University of Victoria, Canada, and author of Anarchist Modernism: Art, Politics, and the First American Avant-Garde (2001). Product Description Through the life of Ivan Aguéli, this books takes us through some of the most important territory of the late nineteenth century. Aguéli is notable as one of the earliest Western intellectuals to convert to Islam and to explore Sufism, and also as an artist, an anarchist, and an esotericist. This book explores all these different aspects of his life and activities. The book reveals each facet of Aguélis complex personality in its own right. It also shows how all this fitted togetherhow esotericism, art, and anarchism finally found their fulfillment in Sufi Islam. Contributors demonstrate that Aguélis life and conversion show that Islam occupied a more central place in modern European intellectual history than is generally realized. His life reflects several major modern intellectual, political, and cultural trends. This book is an important contribution to understanding how he came to Islam, and what other values and influences informed his Islam, and ultimately, the role he played in the modern Western reception of Islam. About the Author Mark Sedgwick is Professor of Arab and Islamic Studies at Aarhus University, Denmark.
