Title: A Description of Gnosis in Philosophical Terminology
Review: This book is truly impressive. Arabi's deep knowledge of philosophy allowed him to describe many aspects of the experience of gnosis and prayer in a rare form that could be comprehended by the rational mind of only someone who has been there even to some small degree. This kind of reflection is beautiful and useful. Arabi is completley experienced and educated in Philosophy, but is not what we would call a philosopher in the impractical, rhetorical, or sophist sense. Rather, this work brings Philosophy back to it's primal roots as a way of mapping out mystical experience.
