In Henry Corbin and the Future of Illumination, Prof. Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad journeys through the luminous landscape of Henry Corbin's thought - from the world of the angel to the machine age, from the metaphysics of the past to the ontology of the future.
This visionary work transforms Corbin's Ishraqi philosophy into a living framework for our time: a way to understand technology, imagination, and spirituality within the same radiant field of meaning. Here, the reader encounters not nostalgia but revelation - an invitation to rediscover the world as a temple of light.
Written in a hybrid style of scholarly precision and poetic insight, the book illuminates key themes:
- the death of the angel and rise of the machine,
- the re-illumination of the human,
- the new hermeneutics of digital imagination, and
- the return of light as the destiny of philosophy.
This is not only a study of Henry Corbin - it is a call to restore metaphysics to its sacred vocation in an age that has forgotten the soul. A major contribution to contemporary Islamic philosophy, phenomenology, and metaphysical futurism, this book belongs in the library of every scholar of religion, culture, and the digital humanities.
