Publisher Description:
A fascinating journey through the history of Sufism, this classic volume recounts the spread of this religious tradition from the seventh century through the present. This history explains how the origin of Sufism is not solely based on Eastern philosophies but rather emerged from a mix of Eastern as well as Western religious influences. The study also explores Sufism as a representation of the hidden tradition behind all religious and philosophical systems: being in the world but not of the world; being free of ambition, greed, and intellectual pride; and revering tradition and authority. A trav s de un fascinante recorrido de la historia del sufismo, este volumen cl sico se concentra en la propagaci n del pensamiento sufi desde el siglo VII hasta el presente. Esta historia del sufismo explica que su origen no proviene solamente del Oriente, c me obstantemente se supone, sino que es una mezcla de las influencias del Oriente con las del Occidente. El sufismo representa, precisamente, la tradici n secreta que se encuentra detr s de todos los sistemas religiosos y filos ficos: el estar en el mundo sin ser del mundo, el liberarse de las ambiciones, codicias, orgullos intelectuales, al igual que la obediencia ciega a las tradiciones y a la autoridad.
