Born in the small Swedish town of Sala in 1869, Aguéli moved to Paris in his youth where he converted to Islam in 1898. Travelling to Ceylon and India, Aguéli finally settled in Egypt in 1902 where he was initiated into the Shadiliyyah Sufi order by the renowned Shaykh Elish el Kabir. Returning to Europe in 1909 as Elish's representative, he began teaching the universalist Sufi doctrine of Muhyeddin Ibn Arabi. In 1910 Aguéli moved back to Paris where he learnt to know the young editor René Guénon. Becoming good friends, Aguéli received Guénon into Islam and Sufism in 1911. Shortly after, Aguéli departed for Sweden and the two never met again. During the First World War, Aguéli was exiled from Egypt to Spain, where he perished under tragic circumstances.
Book Synopsis Anarchist, Artist, Sufi by : Mark Sedgwick
Download or read book Anarchist, Artist, Sufi written by Mark Sedgwick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the life of Ivan Aguéli, the artist, anarchist, and esotericist, notable as one of the earliest Western intellectuals to convert to Islam and to explore Sufism. This book explores different aspects of his life and activities, revealing each facet of Aguéli's complex personality in its own right. It then shows how esotericism, art, and anarchism finally found their fulfillment in Sufi Islam. The authors analyze how Aguéli's life and conversion show that Islam occupied a more central place in modern European intellectual history than is generally realized. His life reflects several major modern intellectual, political, and cultural trends. This book is an important contribution to understanding how he came to Islam, the values and influences that informed his life, and-ultimately-the role he played in the modern Western reception of Islam.

Download or read book Western Sufism written by Mark Sedgwick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Sufism is sometimes dismissed as a relatively recent "new age" phenomenon, but in this book Mark Sedgwick argues that it has deep roots, both in the Muslim world and in the West. In fact, although the first significant Western Sufi organization was not established until 1915, the first Western discussion of Sufism was printed in 1480, and Western interest in Sufi thought goes back to the thirteenth century. Sedgwick starts with the earliest origins of Western Sufism in late antique Neoplatonism and early Arab philosophy, and traces later origins in repeated intercultural transfers from the Muslim world to the West, in the thought of the European Renaissance and Enlightenment, and in the intellectual and religious ferment of the nineteenth century. He then follows the development of organized Sufism in the West from 1915 until 1968, the year in which the first Western Sufi order based on purely Islamic models was founded. Western Sufism shows the influence of these origins, of thought both familiar and less familiar: Neoplatonic emanationism, perennialism, pantheism, universalism, and esotericism. Western Sufism is the product not of the new age but of Islam, the ancient world, and centuries of Western religious and intellectual history. Using sources from antiquity to the internet, Sedgwick demonstrates that the phenomenon of Western Sufism draws on centuries of intercultural transfers and is part of a long-established relationship between Western thought and Islam.
Book Synopsis Against the Modern World by : Mark J. Sedgwick
Download or read book Against the Modern World written by Mark J. Sedgwick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the Modern World is the first history of Traditionalism, an important yet surprisingly little-known twentieth-century anti-modern movement. Comprising a number of often secret but sometimes very influential religious groups in the West and in the Islamic world, it affected mainstream and radical politics in Europe and the development of the field of religious studies in the United States, touching the lives of many individuals. French writer Rene Guenon rejected modernity as a dark age and sought to reconstruct the Perennial Philosophy - the central truths behind all the major world religions. Guenon stressed the urgent need for the West's remaining spiritual and intellectual elite to find personal and collective salvation in the surviving vestiges of ancient religious traditions. A number of disenchanted intellectuals responded to his call. In Europe, America, and the Islamic world, Traditionalists founded institutes, Sufi brotherhoods, Masonic lodges, and secret societies. Some attempted unsuccessfully to guide Fascism and Nazism along Traditionalist lines; others later participated in political terror in Italy. Traditionalist ideas were the ideological cement for the alliance of anti-democratic forces in post-Soviet Russia, and in the Islamic world entered the debate about the relationship between Islam and modernity. Although its appeal in the West was ultimately limited, Traditionalism has wielded enormous influence in religious studies, through the work of such Traditionalists as Ananda Coomaraswamy, Huston Smith, Mircea Eliade, and Seyyed Hossein Nasr.
Download or read book Ivan Aguéli written by Oliver Fotros and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-20 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique study, new light is cast upon the role of the Swedish Sufi Ivan Aguéli (1869-1917) in the life and writings of the French scholar René Guénon (1886-1951). The book answers the following questions: Who was Ivan Aguéli, and how did he meet René Guénon? How did Ivan Aguéli influence the works of René Guénon? Were any of René Guénon's books co-authored by Ivan Aguéli? What was René Guénon's true relationship to the Egyptian Sufi Elish el Kabir? In this unparalleled study, the scholar Oliver Fotros explores the profound influence of Ivan Aguéli on the works and ideas of René Guénon. By examining Aguéli's original articles and letters in French, Swedish and Arabic, Fotros proceeds to decipher the texts of Guénon - which uncovers facts that have been well concealed for over a century. The result offers a new perspective on one of France's greatest intellectuals and a fascinating account of friendship, intrigue, and ambition. Background: Ivan Aguéli or Shaykh Abdul Hâdi Aqhîli (1869-1917) was a Swedish Sufi and artist who was a pioneer in the introduction of Sufism to the West. Born in Sweden in 1869, Aguéli moved to Paris in his youth where he converted to Islam in 1898. Becoming a representative of the renowned Shadiliyyah Sufi Shaykh Elish el Kabir, Aguéli returned to Paris in 1910 to spread the teachings of Ibn Arabi. Learning to know René Guénon, he received him into Islam in 1911. Shortly after, Aguéli departed Paris and the two never met again. In 1916, Aguéli was exiled from Egypt to Spain, where he perished under tragic circumstances. Guénon nevertheless went on to become an intellectual of global renown and a leading scholar of the Perennial Philosophy. So far, Ivan Aguéli has only been attributed a peripheral role in the life of René Guénon - but what if his influence was far greater than what has hitherto been acknowledged?

Book Synopsis Rethinking Ibn ʻArabi by : Gregory A. Lipton
Download or read book Rethinking Ibn ʻArabi written by Gregory A. Lipton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring how the medieval mystic Ibn 'Arabi has been read as an inclusive universalist through the interpretative field of Perennial Philosophy, this book shows how his metaphysics is inseparably intertwined with Islamic supersessionism. Ibn 'Arabi's universalist reception is thus traced to lineages of Eurocentrism, revealing how Perennialism is itself exclusionary.

Book Synopsis The Simple Life of René Guénon by : Paul Chacornac
Download or read book The Simple Life of René Guénon written by Paul Chacornac and published by Sophia Perennis. This book was released on 2005-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: René Guénon (1886-1951) is undoubtedly one of the luminaries of the twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood fast against the shifting sands of recent philosophies. His oeuvre of 26 volumes is providential for the modern seeker: pointing ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy, Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, at the same time it directs the reader to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the summit of spiritual realization. The present volume, first published in 1958 by Guénon's friend and collaborator Paul Chacornac, whose bookstore, journal (first called Le Voile d'Isis, later changed to Études Traditionnelles), and publishing venture-Éditions Traditionnelles-were so instrumental in furthering Guénon's work, was the first full-length biography of this extraordinary man to appear, and has served as the foundation for the many later biographies that have appeared in French, as well as the lone biography in English, René Guénon and the Future of the West, by Robin Waterfield. Its translation and publication in conjunction with The Collected Works of René Guénon represents an important step in the effort to bring Guénon's oeuvre before a wider public.
Book Synopsis The Book of Certainty by : Martin Lings
Download or read book The Book of Certainty written by Martin Lings and published by Golden Palm S.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'To express in the language of Sufism, that is, Islamic mysticism, some of the universal truths which lie at the heart of all religions'--this is the book's avowed purpose. It came into being because the author was asked by a friend to set down in writing what he considered to be the most important things that a human being can know. He was also asked to make it very easy, and despite the depth of all that it contains, it has in fact a remarkable simplicity and clarity, due no doubt to the constant use of traditional imagery which awakens and penetrates the imagination.
