Routledge Philosophy of Ibn 'Arabi - Routledge Islamic Studies

Explore the profound philosophical legacy of Ibn 'Arabi, one of Islam's most influential thinkers, through this comprehensive Routledge volume originally published in 1959. This scholarly edition bridges the gap between Eastern Islamic philosophy and Western academic study, offering original interpretations and detailed illustrations of Ibn 'Arabi's central ideas alongside carefully selected English translations of his foundational texts. Unlike more well-known Islamic philosophers such as Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd and Al-Farabi, Ibn 'Arabi remains underrepresented in Western scholarship despite his profound impact on Islamic thought. This reference work provides readers with direct access to his philosophical concepts and writings, making it an essential resource for students, scholars and anyone seeking deeper understanding of Islamic intellectual history and metaphysical philosophy.
