Abstract:
This work from one of the world's leading Islamic thinkers is a spiritual tour de force which explores the relationship between the human being and nature as found in many religious traditions, particularly its Sufi dimension. The author stresses the importance of a greater awareness of the origins of both the human being and nature as a means of righting the imbalance that exists in our deepest selves and in our environment.
Comment (from this Blueprint): A landmark text in modern Islamic environmental philosophy — as a contrast to the focus on more historic sources in this topic.
