$10.00$12.00

One of Nasr Hamid Abu Zaid’s most prominent books in the series of intellectual and critical studies

In this book, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd presents an extensive study of Ibn Arabi’s vision of the Qur’anic text and its interpretation, addressing the existential and cognitive aspects of his philosophy through three axes: The first axis represents Ibn Arabi’s existential conception, which is based on the duality of the apparent and the hidden; a tangible, sensory appearance, and a deep, spiritual interior. The second axis is concerned with Ibn Arabi’s conception of the relationship between man and existence, and man’s unique ability to penetrate the depths of inner existence. The third axis is related to Ibn Arabi’s understanding of the nature of the Qur’anic text and its relationship to existence; as he sees the Qur’an as existence manifested through language; an existence with an apparent and an inner, and a language with levels and ranks that are similar to the levels and ranks of existence.
