Book Reviews of Alone with the Alone
Book Review: An intelligent penetration into the mysteries of sufism
Summary: 5 Stars
Henry Corbin, one of the very few western scholars of Islamic Mysticism, and particularly of the Andalusian "Shaikh al-Akbar". L'"immagination cr?atrice dans le soufisme d'Ibn Arabi" is without doubt an intelligent penetration into the mysteries of Ibn Arabi's doctrines on theophanism, the doctrine of the "Fedeli d'amore" of Islam, and on the creative capacity of the soufi's heart. Of particular interest is the chapter on Divine Love represented allegorically in his "Tarjuman al-ashwaq" and its correspondance with the Convivio of Dante Alighieri. Corbin compares Ibn Arabi's beloved "Niz?m" with Dante's Beatrice. The parallel between the "Alchemy of Happiness" and the "Divine Comedy" of the Florentine poet is surely the key of this excellent book.
