| Summary |
"The Horizons of Being explores the teachings of Ibn al-'Arabī by examining Dāwūd al-Qayṣarī's (d. 1350) Prolegomena (muqaddima) to his commentary, Maṭla' khuṣūṣ al-kilam fī ma'ānī Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam (A Preamble of Select Discourse on the Meanings of the Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam), referred to simply as Muqaddimat al-Qayṣarī. While his commentary represents the third in a direct line going back to Ibn al-'Arabī through Kāshānī, Jandī and Qūnawī, it remains one of the most popular due to its thorough and accessible treatment of the Fuṣūṣ that frequently synthesizes the ideas of his predecessors. The Muqaddima stands on its own as an independent work and has been the subject of careful study. If the al-Futūḥāt al-makkiyya contains the entirety of Ibn al-'Arabī's metaphysics which is distilled in the Fuṣūṣ, then Qayṣarī's Muqaddima can be read not just as a precis of the Fuṣūṣ but a summary of Ibn al-'Arabī's doctrine"-- Provided by publisher |
