Examines the work of Carl Jung in relation to Eastern religion, the
wisdom teachings of the Sophia, Sufi mysticism, and visionary
spirituality Henry Corbin (1903-1978) was one of the most important
French philosophers and orientalists of the 20th century. In this
collection of previously unpublished writings, Corbin examines the
work of Carl Jung in relationship to the deep spiritual traditions
of Eastern religion, the esoteric wisdom teachings of Sophia, the
transformational symbolism of alchemy, and Sufi mysticism. Looking
at the many methods of inner exploration in the East, including the
path of the Sufi and Taoist alchemy, Corbin reveals how the modern
Western world does not have its own equivalent except in
psychotherapy. Expanding Jung's findings in light of his own
studies of Gnostic and esoteric Islamic traditions, he offers a
unique insight into the spiritual values underlying Jung's
psychoanalytic theories. Corbin analyzes Jung's works on Buddhism,
providing his own understanding of the tradition and its
relationship to Sufi mysticism, and explores the role of the
Gnostic Sophia with respect to Jung's most controversial essay,
"Answer to Job." Explaining how Islamic fundamentalists have turned
their back on the mystic traditions of Sufism, Corbin reveals how
totalitarianism of all kinds threatens the transformative power of
the imagination and the transcendent reality of the individual
soul. Henry Corbin (1903-1978) was one of the most important French
