Abstract

Ibn ‘Arabi off ers a unique framework for explaining the structures of knowledge. His epistemology is referenced within the Oneness of Being (wahdāt al-wujūd), and all knowledge is ultimately the knowledge that the Being has of Itself through Its own self-disclosure. The human form mirrors this self-disclosure, and within this form he situates the center of the human experience in the faculty of the heart (qalb). Through interactions with the faculties of mind, refl ection and imagination, he provides a robust model for an epistemology that explains the workings of mind and the creation of the many beliefs about God. He intimates at the highest human potential which is the immediate perception of the Real as It appears to the heart in every moment, a condition of complete union known as the ‘Station of No Station’. The demands of post-modern thought insist on epistemologies that honor relativism by granting the multiplicity their ontological status. Additionally, the emergent paradigm suggested by integral studies suggests a holistic view of human development that builds on a vision of integrated body, mind and spirit. Ibn ‘Arabi’s epistemology is singularly capable of addressing these issues as he outlines the timeless structures and processes that comprise human sentience.

Abstract

Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi is renowned for his voluminous output of works on almost every subject, including theology, cosmology, jurisprudence, philosophy and the mystical sciences, numbering some 350 works. What is less known is the fact that he was also a prodigious and talented poet, with an output of several thousand poems. While he describes in great detail the phenomenology and ontological exegesis of his mystical experiences in works such as the Futūhāt al-Makkiyya, it is in his poetry where the expression of his passionate love for his beloved is revealed in its full humanity. The condition of one who has passed from separation to union, tawhid, is revealed through his poetry to be intensely alive, traversing the full range of bliss and loss that lovers know all too well, for his beloved is to be found in every thing, yet cannot be contained by any thing, hence never to be possessed.
