    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Ibn &#039;Arabi in the Later Islamic Tradition: The Making of a Polemical Image in Medieval Islam ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;This book examines the fierce theological controversy over the great Muslim mystical thinker Ibn &#039;Arabi (1165-1242). Even during his lifetime, Ibn &#039;Arabi&#039;s conformity with the letter of the Muslim dogma was called into doubt by many scholars who were suspicious of the monistic (unitive) tendencies of his metaphysical teaching, of his claims to be the Prophet&#039;s successor and restorer of the true meaning of the Islamic revelation, and of his allegorical interpretation of the Qur&#039;an.&quot;--Jacket.<br />
&quot;In thoroughly analyzing the heated debates around Ibn &#039;Arabi&#039;s ideas throughout the three centuries following his death, this study brings out discursive strategies and arguments employed by the polemicists, the hidden agendas they pursued, and the reasons for the striking longevity of the issue in Islamic literature up to the present day. On the theoretical level, this book reassesses the validity of such common dichotomies as orthodoxy versus heresy, mainstream versus mystical interpretations of Islam, and communalism versus individualism as well as other issues related to the history of Islamic thought.&quot;--Jacket.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Elixir of the Gnostics ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Sadr al-Din Muhammad Shirazi, more commonly called Mulla Sadra (1572-1640), was one of the grand scholars of the later period of Islamic philosophy and has become one of the best known Muslim philosophers. Originally composed in Arabic, Iksir al-arifin, or Elixir of the Gnostics, may well be unique among Sadra&#039;s writings because it reworks and elaborates on an earlier work in Persian, the Jawidan-nama (The Book of the Everlasting) by Afdal al-Din Kashani, commonly known as Baba Afdal.&quot; &quot;The underlying theme of Elixir is a teaching that stands at the heart of Mulla Sadra&#039;s writings and those of many other Muslim thinkers: the importance of self-knowledge in each person&#039;s journey of &quot;Origin and Return.&quot; Each soul originates with God, and one&#039;s journey is completed only when the soul has returned to Him. Self-knowledge is the means by which the soul, having been created in the divine image, must realize its full and final potential; and philosophy, in Sadra&#039;s view, is the most direct path to that end. Sadra sees the soul&#039;s climb to perfection as a gradual dis-engagement from all embodiment and materiality and a return to her transcendent essence. The returning soul comes to se that all realities and essences are found in the Intellect from which all things have descended, and that their corporeal appearance is a temporary affair.&quot;--Jacket.]]></dcterms:description>
