This lecture is based on the book Dissolving into Being (Anqa Publishing: Oxford, 2024). Professor Dickson will provide a new introduction to Sufi mystical philosophy, a tradition traced back to the works of Sufisms most renowned master, Ibn Arabi (d. 1240). To help bridge the gap between specialised studies of Ibn Arabi and a more general readership, Professor Dickson will highlight several of Ibn Arabi insights, on subjects ranging from the origin of the world and the reality of love, to the nature of life after death, destiny, peace and conflict, and religious diversity, all through an exploration of Ibn Arabis masterwork Gemstones of Wisdom ( Fu al-ikam ).
