An Introduction to Henry Corbin
Переглядів 4,8 тис.4 роки тому
This is one that was to be used for a Brazilian audience but didn't make the cut - so a couple of the slide are in Portugese - but all the audio is me in English ... also I didn't edit anything so it's pretty informal.

F. Edward Cranz and the Reorientation of the Western Mind
Переглядів 1,2 тис.7 років тому
The posthumous publication of F.Edward Cranz’s Reorientations of Western Thought from Antiquity to the Renaissance in 2006 was the final fruit of the career of a truly remarkable scholar. It is an event that should be widely celebrated among intellectual historians everywhere. The long labors of Nancy Struever and all the others who have seen to it that Cranz’s life-work is now readily availabl...
21 minutes in and i havent really learned much of anything ywt But i think, perhaps, you approach this more like poetry, where the lecture is an aesthetic experienc moreso than a conveyance of relevant/significant insight
This reminds me of Maximus Peperkamp also: ua-cam.com/video/ptd82_GFfOM/v-deo.htmlsi=Jjq9w-AgjZjzr4Xu
Wonderfully lucid, Tom. Thank you.
Absolutely love awe and joy you take in sharing your work, truly a wondrous topic. Thanks for your teachings
" Thanks for putting up with this "..Thank you for one of the most perceptive and enthused talks I've ever experienced about an artist. P's-love the sound of your voice .
thank you!
Presentation starts around 14:20
Oh my god thank you
I really enjoyed it as a fan of Cy but really didn’t how to look at his work in words. Interpreting his work as mark making was something more to think about as an art school student. Really thank you.
This video can be satisfactorily listened to at accelerated playback speed.
One of the all time greats.
"the can and string youre using as a mic worked well here"
Changed the playback speed to 1.5 okay
The first five minutes I was thinking "oh boy, here comes a cy critic".I was dead wrong. Listened to the entire thing and loved every minute of it. Learned some new things today. Keep them coming!
Thank You!
In a more enlightened America you would be a National Treasure Tom. Here's to imagining that America will come to fruition if not for us, for our children or their children.
A silent gem. Your writing and reading is truly beautiful.
People find it incomprehensible that someone would scribble like that but it is essentially the same thing as sitting at a piano and improvising melodies and rhythms... I think Twombly liked rhythm and his drawings were like little jam sessions wherein he explored and enjoyed drawing as a kind of experience.
Spot on, thank you for making this
So pleased this came by in my recommended videos on YT. New subscriber here... :)
Lovely to have this made available. Thank you very much.
This was so great... Thankyou for sharing this information
I am of two minds on Cy. Some days I admire him and some days I think he is full of shit. I think I’m right on both counts. He appears not to care. Maybe he didn’t. The question is why should we?
the True Art of His... is the Selling of His Art....
I woke up remembering John Henry. We were family.
Thanks for this. I've only just discovered Cy Tombly. Thought provoking stuff.
Fascinating talk ❤
I listened to every moment of this talk and learned many things about CT, his art, how to look at his art, and how to think and analyze in general. Thank you.
great. 👍
Thanks. I really foujd this talk useful
In minute of 11:35 you said Louis Massignon write a book of hallaj Islamic mysticism from north Africa _this is wrong go study Persian story of zorvan _mitra_and Zoroastrian you don't know anything about Persia and oldest mystics its all related to each other this is a technic of connection _mansur hallaj was Persian (iran)Sufi
You Iranian Nationalist, wanting to take credit for everything to your assumption that only Iranians are genius. As for Hallaj, yes he was Persian but from his early life he lived among Arabs to the point that he forgot Persian. Hallaj's Diwan is in Arabic and my teacher in Kashmir teaches that to people. And lastly, Massignon collected most of his materials for research on Hallaj from North Africa only. You are the one who needs to do research. And I am from India and a proud muslim. The teacher here is amazing and has done a great deal of research on the subject matter.
@@burhan8147 if your a real Indian(I doubt you are this doc with fake id)but if you are we are once one culture together your people and my people carry a great light which is absent in west or so weak, darkness first took west remember they never can't understand Nepal's culture or Iran's before Zoroaster(mehr or mitra and before ) or great India's rigveda your job is to link everything together Islam with rigveda or Chinese or Greek gods with rome gods or Egypt and oldest myths and mystic there is link if you really wanted so bad the map show himself to you And yes we are Iranian still the greatest (the light began with persia with fire ,fire and light was the first spiritual religion _Hegel German philosopher )
Thank you 😊
I gave up 15 minutes in on this lecturer and I LIKE Twombley....
I really loved this voyage into Henry Corbin. I am not exactly sure how I discovered your UA-cam videos Tom, but I am deeply engaged and honored to discover your thinking about Henry and your great elucidation of him. I once bought Henry's book on Islamic Philosophy, a big tome of writings, but found it quite dense and academic. I discovered him from getting deeper into Islam, since I was learning Arabic to prepare for my trip to Egypt. Long story short, I am avid love of philosophy, psycological mythology, and drawn to jung, and others. Your videos are fantastic and you a great speaker and thinker. I subscribed. Thank you!
Many thanks for an excellent summary. I've had a long time interest in Sufi thought, originally linked with Gurdjieff, Ouspensky and their teaching and followers. I'm not very academic but have always loved music and mystical poetry. I'm looking forward to exploring the authors you have mentioned. Great work.
Thank you!
Amazing
Love Twombly.
The greatest American artist thus far...
Happy to read responses from people that get CT🙌🏻.I love what he created for us to admire and enjoy.
Twombys work is so deliberately and completely loose, genuine and free, that his message plainly is purely 'i dont care', and that is a fair and sane response to the present modern world. I have to add that its also curiously attractive rythmic, magnetic. the motion his strokes is essential, which is also very happy
So true his loose, genuine and free, style and 'i dont care' attitude is so refreshing especially in todays world.

Much thanks for this. 🙏

Thank you very much for this video! Where is lecture 2?
Thank you.
Spoken with true admiration
Lovely to listen to this, thank you
Well, that sure was something and it ended in a bewildering way
Can't wait 🤷
This is EXACTLY what i was looking for!
Do you know if Corbin ever wrote anything in Farsi?
Greetings Dr Cheetham! Do you know where I can find a bibliography of Corbin's published works? Thanks in advance!
Mdevil93 sure: www.amiscorbin.com
thank you very much, I enjoyed your presentation, and so I enabled the notifications for when you post videos.
Prof. Ebrahimi Dinani is a well known Iranian philosopher who has beautiful memories of Corbin 's visits and sessions in Tehran.
