First discussed by Ibn 'Arabī and later treated in greater depth by al-Jīlī, the idea left its mark on later Islamic mystical, metaphysical, and political thought, from North Africa to Southeast Asia, up until modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe research tells the story of the development of that idea from Ibn 'Arabī to al-Jīlī and beyond. It does so through a thematic study, based on close reading of primary sources in Arabic and Persian, of the key elements of the idea, including the idea that the Perfect Human is a locus of divine manifestation (maẓhar), the concept of the 'Pole' (quṭb) and the 'Muhammadan Reality' (al-ḥaqīqah al-Muhammadiyyah), and the identity of the Perfect Human. By setting the work of al-Jīlī against the background of earlier Ibn 'Arabian treatments of the idea, it demonstrates that al-Jīlī took the idea of the Perfect Human in several new directions, with major consequences for how the Prophet Muhammad - the archetypal Perfect Human - was viewed in later Islamic thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroducing readers to the key Sufi idea of the Perfect Human (al-insān al-kāmil), this volume will be of interest to scholars and students interested in Sufism, Islam, religion and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzroy Morrissey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367426722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367426729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Fitzroy Morrissey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112883073279,"sku":"9780367426729","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c6804d5-27df-4ffd-9fcc-f45905610de1.jpg?v=1769611586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sufism-and-the-perfect-human-fitzroy-morrissey-9780367426729","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
