Description

The World Turned Inside Out: Henry Corbin and the Angel Out Ahead by Tom Cheetham Henry Corbin was a French philosopher, Christian theologian, and scholar of Islamic mysticism who had a profound influence on the development of archetypal psychology. His work explores the connection between Western philosophy and Islamic mysticism, offering a unique vision of the three great monotheistic religions. One challenge in understanding Corbin's writings is the unfamiliarity of the "Oriental" philosophy he drew upon. His heart lay in Iranian Shi'ism, a branch of Islam that is often misunderstood. Despite the negative connotations associated with Iran and Shi'ite Islam, Corbin's message has significant psychological and cultural importance. This book provides an introduction to Corbin's work and the traditions that shaped it, making it a valuable resource for those interested in exploring the intersection of philosophy, theology, and mysticism.
