Specificatii
All the World an Icon is the fourth book in an informal quartet of
works by Tom Cheetham on the spirituality of Henry Corbin, a major
twentieth-century scholar of Sufism and colleague of C. G. Jung,
whose influence on contemporary religion and the humanities is
beginning to become clear. Cheetham's books have helped spark a
renewed interest in the work of this important, creative religious
thinker. Henry Corbin (1903-1978) was professor of Islamic religion
at the Sorbonne in Paris and director of the department of Iranic
studies at the Institut Franco-Iranien in Teheran. His wide-ranging
work includes the first translations of Heidegger into French,
studies in Swedenborg and Boehme, writings on the Grail and
angelology, and definitive translations of Persian Islamic and Sufi
texts. He introduced such seminal terms as the imaginal realm and
theophany into Western thought, and his use of the Shi'ite idea of
ta'wil or spiritual interpretation influenced psychologist James
Hillman and the literary critic Harold Bloom. His books were read
by a broad range of poets including Charles Olson and Robert
Duncan, and his impact on American poetry, says Cheetham, has yet
to be fully appreciated. His published titles in English include
Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn Arabi, Avicenna and the
Visionary Recital, and The Man of Light in Iranian Sufism. As the
religions of the Book place the divine Word at the center of
creation, the importance of hermaneutics, the theory and practice
of interpretation, cannot be overstated. In the theology and
spirituality of Henry Corbin, the mystical heart of this tradition
is to be found in the creative, active imagination; the alchemy of
spiritual development is best understood as a story of the soul's
search for the Lost Speech. Cheetham eloquently demonstrates
Corbin's view that the living interpretation of texts, whether
divine or human--or, indeed, of the world itself seen as the Text
of Creation--is the primary task of spiritual life. In his first
three books on Corbin, Cheetham explores different aspects of
Corbin's work, but has saved for this book his final analysis of
what Corbin meant by the Arabic term ta'wil--perhaps the most
important concept in his entire oeuvre. Any consideration of how
Corbin's ideas were adapted by others has to begin with a clear
idea of what Corbin himself intended, writes Cheetham; his own
intellectual and spiritual cosmos is already highly complex and
eclectic and a knowledge of his particular philosophical project is
crucial for understanding the range and implications of his work.
Cheetham lays out the implications of ta'wil as well as the use of
language as integral part of any artistic or spiritual practice,
with the view that the creative imagination is a fundamentally
linguistic phenomenon for the Abrahamic religions, and, as Corbin
tells us, prayer is the supreme form of creative imagination.
