Exploring the Transformative Encounters with Henri Corbin and James Hillman
The speaker delves into a transformative journey that started with intense reading of James Hillman, which led to the discovery of Henri Corbin. Initially skeptical of Corbin's focus on angels, the Bible, Moses, and Muhammad, the speaker found Corbin's work on Ibn Urahman to be compelling despite the challenging content. Over time, the speaker was intrigued by Corbin's unique blend of Western Christian and Islamic history in his scholarship. The revelation that Corbin was the first French translator of Heidegger further captivated the speaker, leading to a 30-year exploration of Corbin and Hillman's works that opened up a vast world of knowledge and imaginal realities.
