Book Synopsis

The Fusus al-Hikam is acknowledged to be a summary statement of the Sufi metaphysics of the ''Greatest Master'', Ibn ''Arabi (d.1240). It is also recognised that the Fusus is a work of great complexity both in its ideas and its style; and, over the centuries, numerous commentaries have been written on it. Each of the chapters of the Fusus is dedicated to a Qur''anic prophet with whom a particular ''wisdom'' is associated.

In Sufi Metaphysics and Quranic Prophets: Ibn ''Arabi''s Thought and Method in the Fusus al-Hikam, Ronald Nettler examines ten chapters from the Fusus which exemplify the ideas, method and perspective of the entire work. Concentrating on a detailed analysis of the text, the author brings out the profound connection and integration of scripture and metaphysics in the world-view of Ibn ''Arabi. Sufi Metaphysics and Qur''anic Prophets serves not only as an explication of Ibn Arabi''s thought in the Fusus, but is also a great aid in the overall understanding of Ibn ''Arabi''s thought.
