Synopsis
In this study, Izutsu compares "concepts of Sufism and Taoism. . . . Part 1 describes Ibn Arabi: after chapters 1-3's general description, 4-5 treat the Absolute, 6-10, the key terms, 11-13, the Absolute's operation, and 14-17, the perfect man. . . . Part 2 treats Taoism: chapters 1-2 concern its background, 3-8, the Absolute's metaphysical aspect, and 9-12, its personal aspect.Part 3 concerns methods (1), man (2), reality (3), and existence (4-5)." (J Relig) This is a revised edition of A comparative study of the key philosophical concepts in Sufism and Taoism: Ibn Arabi and Lao-tzu, Chuang-tzu, 1966.
