Ibn 'Arabi and Modern Thought is an invitation to reconsider the central and defining ideas of modernity in the light of Ibn 'Arabi's writings on the Unity of Existence. In these global times it is a curious fact that the writings of Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi, which since the 12th century have incalculably influenced the metaphysical structure of much Oriental thought and practice, should still remian relatively unknown and undiscussed in the Western theoretical architecture of the 21st century. This book is the first attempt to bring together the West and the East in an open discourse between the ancient and the modern, the traditional and the scientific, the industrial and the personal. It will be appeal to academics and students in psychology, sociology and philosophy, and to readers with an academic or personal interest in Ibn 'Arabi.
