This book follows the life of Ivan Aguéli, the artist, anarchist,
and esotericist, notable as one of the earliest Western
intellectuals to convert to Islam and to explore Sufism. This book
explores different aspects of his life and activities, revealing
each facet of Aguéli’s complex personality in its own right. It
then shows how esotericism, art, and anarchism finally found their
fulfillment in Sufi Islam. The authors analyze how Aguéli’s life
and conversion show that Islam occupied a more central place in
modern European intellectual history than is generally realized.
His life reflects several major modern intellectual, political, and
cultural trends. This book is an important contribution to
understanding how he came to Islam, the values and influences that
informed his life, and—ultimately—the role he played in the
modern Western reception of Islam.
