Henry Corbin and the Imaginal World: Revisiting Spiritual Hermeneutics in Postmodern Age

In Henry Corbin and the Imaginal World, Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad reintroduces one of the most profound metaphysical thinkers of the twentieth century - Henry Corbin - whose visionary approach to the mundus imaginalis continues to inspire scholars of philosophy, theology, and Islamic spirituality.This book explores how Corbin's concept of the Imaginal World offers a third path between rational materialism and mystical abstraction, opening a realm where the soul encounters reality through symbols, visions, and divine imagination. Ahmad situates Corbin's thought within the broader dialogue between Islamic and Western metaphysics, reinterpreting it through the postmodern lens of hermeneutics, phenomenology, and spiritual anthropology.From Ibn 'Arabi's ontology of imagination to the phenomenology of sacred presence, the author invites readers into a journey of spiritual reflection that transcends disciplinary boundaries. In an age of technological distraction and secular disenchantment, Corbin's imaginal vision becomes a key to restoring the unity between intellect and revelation, spirit and form, the visible and the invisible.This work continues the KBA13 Insight Monograph Series, which seeks to reclaim the spiritual and metaphysical foundations of human knowledge.
