Michel Chodkiewicz was Director of Studies at l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris.
'Chodkiewicz unravels the interwoven strands of Ibn 'Arabi's
thought with a blend of knowledge, intellectual scruple and
intelligence... this ability must be praised... it is very
instructive and light-years away from the apologetics and the
indictments of Islam which make up most of the current works on the
subject.'
-- Maxime Robinson
'This is by far the best available explanation of the central
importance of sanctity for understanding both the practical and the
theoretical teachings of Sufism.' -- William Chittick
'An extraordinarily good book about an extremely difficult
thinker... Chodkiewicz not only knows the texts remarkably well,
but also avoids and rejects certain errors of perspective common
among other scholars.'
