I would be most grateful if you would post a video of the event here or on youtube. Just discovered this blog via your interview with Michel Lerner on youtube. Thank you for clarifying parts of Corbin´s work for us- I've caught glimmers off him that seem incredibly real and intimate, but then it all seems to turn to mountains of pebbles, comparisons and splitting branches. <br /><br />I haven't read any of your books and would like to. Which of your books would you recommend to start with? I'm a long-time student of Jung, who's recently astonished, disappointed by his view of the Jehovah-Christ-Satan-Holy Spirit evolution as put forward in Answer to Job. It seems a tremendous failure of his imaginal abilities.

I am convinced that his so called "Tradition" is actually steeped in nihilism (and in the idea that "man", as a demiurge god, has the right to do as he please or like. To give order to chaos, in his opinion). Of course Guenon's vison was very different but at the end I believe that both of them are unlikely companions for Corbin (as you explain very well in your "the world turned inside out"). Maybe I'm wrong, but the "transmitted knowledge" of the french sheik is too fixed in a sclerotic way. For example his interpretation of Daoism strikes me as untrue. Do you know, or do you think there are any, religious groups that are working in a "din" in consonance with Corbin's vision? I mean...are the insights of Henry Corbin totally personal (and if so, to be meditated alone)or they can be found in some actual religious way?. Real-life Ismailism, with the super-rich Aga Khan as Imam, doesn't appear to me the same thing of corbin's ismaili philosophers.

I am reminded of F. von Schelling's work as a precursor to Corbin's. Both men saw the world as an act of the imaginal.
