Book Review: William C. Chittick: Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul​

Picture

In the short introduction to this work, William Chittick states that after almost forty years of sitting back and letting sages such as Rumi, Ibn 'Arabi, Sadr al-Din Qunawi, 'Abd al-Rahman Jami, Afdal al-Din Kashani, Shams-i Tabrizi, and Mulla Sadra speak through his translations, he has finally felt at ease in applying their wisdom to the complex problems of the contemporary world. At the heart of this book consisting of seven chapters, all but one of which were originally written as lectures for conferences, is the question: "how do we know what we know?"
