Ibn 'Arabi and Modern Thought: The History of Taking Metaphysics Seriously

This book is the first serious attempt at bringing the teachings of the important Muslim metaphysician Ibn ’Arabi into the arena of modern Western thought. Peter Coates, a specialist in the philosophy of psychology and long-time student of Ibn ’Arabi, presents some of Ibn ’Arabi’s main metaphysical and epistemological teachings within the context of modem and postmodern theories in sociology, philosophy and psychology, while also effectively highlighting and discussing the assumptions which inform these fields of inquiry. Not only does the author demonstrate an impressive range of learning with respect to the history and development of modem western theoretical culture, but he also faithfully presents Ibn ’Arabi’s principal ideas. This book serves as a dialogue of some sorts, in which the author ventures to show how Ibn ’Arabi’s profound teachings on reason, knowledge and the human self and other topics can help enhance the contemporary world’s own understanding of these important notions.
