La imaginación creadora en el sufismo de Ibn Arabi

Henry Corbin offers us a fascinating journey into the world of Sufism and the theosophy of light. The central interest of this book, which has inspired successive generations of writers, creators and researchers of the most diverse tendencies, lies in its lucid description of the imaginal plane, an intermediate dimension that should not be confused with simple individual or collective fantasy. This domain, deeply linked to religion, magic and natural sciences, populated by spirits and entities of all kinds that exist both in the macrocosm and in the human microcosm, is presented as a fundamental area of spiritual experience in the background of the different esotericisms. Through his detailed analysis of Ibn Arabi's thought, Corbin offers us a magnificent introduction to Islamic Sufism, exploring the relationship between imagination, divine revelation, and the creation of the world. Likewise, the author shows us how Sufism is related to the theosophy of light, a current of thought that seeks to understand the nature of divine light and its relationship with creation.
