Sommario/riassunto

This collection brings together scholars from various fields to explore the work, life, and legacy of Henry Corbin (1903–1978), a towering figure in the modern study of Islamic esoteric spirituality. A valuable resource for students and researchers alike, it highlights Corbin's unique contributions not only to Islamic philosophy and mysticism, but



also to Neoplatonism, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, musical and literary theory, film criticism, political thought, and comparative religion. Hadi Fakhoury is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.
