One of the most controversial issues that divided Islamic
philosophers and theologians during the Middle Ages was whether
human beings would have a spiritual or bodily existence after
death. The idea of a world of image was conceived as a solution,
suggesting that there exists a world of non-physical (imagined)
bodies, beyond our earthly existence. This world may be reached in
sleep, in meditation or after death. From the embryonic conception
by Ibn Sina, to the radical rethinking by Suhrawardi and Shahrazuri
into a sophisticated system, L. W. C. van Lit unravels the history
of this idea. Using a distant reading approach for measuring the
transmission, he further shows how the idea remained relevant for
Muslim thinkers through the centuries, up until today.
