Title: Introduction to Later Sufism (ca. AD 1200 to present)
Description: Popularized through translations of world famous poets like the 13th century Rumi, the Sufi mystical strain pervaded Islamic culture for a thousand years and played a major historic role in furthering friendly relations between Muslims and other religious communities through endorsement of spiritual tolerance. The Spring session of this two-term course addresses the overwhelming influence of the Spanish-Muslim Ibn Arabi (d. 1240 AD) on all subsequent higher Islamic mystical speculation and poetical literature - as far as India.
