Sufi Aesthetics
Beauty, Love, and the Human Form in the Writings of Ibn 'Arabi and 'Iraqi' (Studies in Comparative Religion)
Cyrus Ali Zargar
Delve into the world of Sufi poetry with this unique study of erotic Sufi poems and their commentaries, focusing on the aesthetic vision of two major Muslim mystics, Muhyi al-Din ibn al-'Arabi and Fakhr al-Din 'Iraqi. Authored by Cyrus Ali Zargar, this analysis offers a fresh perspective on Sufism and classical Arabic and Persian poetry, while overturning assumptions about Muslim approaches to sexuality, the human body, and the afterlife.
