Description

Ibn Arabi: The Voyage of No Return by Claude Addas This book provides a concise introduction to the life and thought of Ibn 'Arabi, considered the 'Greatest of Sufi Masters'. Through a detailed analysis of his works and ideas, Claude Addas offers a comprehensive insight into Ibn 'Arabi's major doctrines, including the doctrine of prophethood and sainthood, and the 'unicity of Being'. The book also explores Ibn 'Arabi's 'inner voyage', presenting his auto-biographical sections directly from his writings. Addas introduces the main disciples of Ibn 'Arabi and traces his unequalled influence on the course of Sufism, as well as the controversies that still surround him today. This second edition includes a new preface and an updated bibliography, making it a valuable contribution to scholarship on Islamic mysticism.
