In these global times it is a curious and pertinent fact that the life and writings of Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi, which since the 12th century have incalculably influenced the metaphysical structure of much Oriental thought and practice, still remain relatively unknown and undiscussed in the Western theoretical architecture of the 21st century. His works constitute one of the most penetrating and extraordinary metaphysical and spiritual teachings the world has ever known, a universal perspective that cuts across the divides of culture and time. What is perhaps unexpected is not only the modern ring of much of his thought, but also its ability to reconceptualize modernity's own self-descriptions and understandings, and to bring out hitherto unnoticed features of its landscape. Ibn 'Arabi's remarks on causality, time, contingency, necessity, epistemology, ontology, ethics and aesthetics alone would entice even the most wary of modernity's intellectual authorities. This book deals with the findings of just some of these authorities - modern philosophy, social science and psychology - in an open discourse between ancient and modern, traditional and scientific, industrial and personal.
