  • 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.

    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.

      Do you know if Corbin ever wrote anything in Farsi?

    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

      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 )
