Sacred Web 26 Now Available

SACRED WEB 26 is now available.

Including:
Coming Into the World: Henry Corbin & the Exegesis of the Soul. 
Part Two: The Visionary Recital (pp. 17-40)
by Tom Cheetham
This essay—the second of two parts—continues a reading of Henry Corbin's "Cyclical Time in Mazdaism and Isma'ilism" and Avicenna and the Visionary Recital. The first part of Cheetham's essay appeared in volume 25 of Sacred Web, and focused on Corbin's view of cyclical time. The second part focuses on the concept of taw'il (or hermeneutics) and on the phenomenological and hermeneutic vision (the rendering of the Presence of transcendent reality through sacred dramaturgy and angelology) that constitutes the pluralistic foundation of Corbin's work.

The link above connects to the full table of contents AND online links to poetry, interviews and book reviews. Don't miss the review of Peter Kingsley's new book.
