The final volume in a trilogy of works which explore the implications of
the spiritual vision of Henry Corbin (1903-1978). Corbin was one of the
20th century’s premier scholars of Islamic mysticism. He was a colleague
of C. G. Jung and a major figure at the Eranos Conferences. He
introduced the concept of the mundus imaginalis into contemporary
thought and his work has provided much of the intellectual foundation
for archetypal psychology as developed by James Hillman. But Corbin’s
underlying theological and philosophical project was to provide a
framework for understanding the hidden unity of the religions of the
monotheistic tradition: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. His profound
grasp of the phenomenology of the religious imagination and his uniquely
ecumenical approach make his work essential reading in a complex and
pluralistic age. |
