Building upon my earlier studies of Corbin, this book moves beyond introductory exposition toward a deeper exploration of the imaginal world as a fundamental dimension of Islamic metaphysics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this work is Corbin's recovery of \u003cem\u003eʿālam al-mithāl\u003c\/em\u003e-the imaginal world that mediates between the sensible and the intelligible. Rather than treating imagination as a psychological faculty or literary metaphor, this book approaches it as an ontological reality through which meaning, symbol, and spiritual knowledge become accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Corbin's readings of Ibn ʿArabi, Suhrawardi, and the Illuminationist tradition, the book examines creative imagination as an organ of knowledge, angelology as a metaphysics of mediation, and symbolic perception as a mode of encounter rather than representation. These themes are developed not as abstract doctrines, but as a coherent philosophical vision that challenges modern reductions of religion to law, ideology, or identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume also situates imaginal Islam within the contemporary crisis of meaning. By engaging Corbin's critique of modernity, secularism, and literalism, the book offers an alternative orientation-one that neither rejects critical reason nor surrenders metaphysical depth. Imaginal Islam is presented here as a way of seeing, grounded in Islamic philosophy yet open to universal resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for readers already familiar with Corbin's work, as well as those seeking a philosophically rigorous entry into his thought, \u003cem\u003eImaginal Islam\u003c\/em\u003e is intended as a reflective continuation rather than a repetition. It invites the reader to move from interpretation toward participation, and from conceptual understanding toward attentiveness to the imaginal horizon itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42770021515360,"sku":"9798224516742","price":41.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/eY0SFI1aqA9798224516742.webp?v=1779717273","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/imaginal-islam-henry-corbin-and-the-metaphysics-of-the-imaginal-world-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
