Things and Angels, Death & Immortality

This is the second installment in my series of posts making the more inaccessible works of Roberts Avens available.

"Things and Angels, Death and Immortality in Heidegger and in Islamic Gnosis," Hamdard Islamicus Vol. VII/Number 2, Summer 1984. As with most of Avens' work, there are many references to Henry Corbin.
