Why would a devout Catholic, a committed Protestant, and a Maoist
atheist devote their lives and work to the study of esoteric
aspects of Islam? How are these aspects 'good to think with'? What
are the theoretical and intellectual problems to which they provide
solutions? These are the questions at the heart of Esoteric Islam
in Modern French Thought. The three French specialists of Islam
described above form an intellectual and personal genealogy that
structures the core of the text: Massignon taught Corbin, who
taught Jambet in his turn. Each of them found in the esoteric a
solution to otherwise insurmountable problems: desire for
Massignon, certainty for Corbin, and resurrection/immortality for
Jambet. Over the course of three long chapters focused on the life
and work of each writer, the book maps the central place of
esoteric Islam in the intellectual life of twentieth and
twenty-first century France.
