Insisting upon a return to the ways of the ancient wisdom tradition, which saw the quest for knowledge of the soul, the world, and God as a unifying spiritual discipline, Chittick maintains that the study of Islamic texts cannot be treated separately from self-understanding. Fascinating, radical, and a true challenge to modern trends in academic study, this book opens a new debate in Islamic thought.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 135mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 227gAuthor: William C.
