Henry Corbin and the Future of Illumination

In Henry Corbin and the Future of Illumination, Prof. Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad journeys through the luminous landscape of Henry Corbin's thought — from the world of the angel to the machine age, from the metaphysics of the past to the ontology of the future.This visionary work transforms Corbin's Ishrāqī philosophy into a living framework for our time: a way to understand technology, imagination, and spirituality within the same radiant field of meaning. Here, the reader encounters not nostalgia but revelation — an invitation to rediscover the world as a temple of light.Written in a hybrid style of scholarly precision and poetic insight, the book illuminates key themes:the death of the angel and rise of the machine,the re-illumination of the human,the new hermeneutics of digital imagination, andthe return of light as the destiny of philosophy.This is not only a study of Henry Corbin — it is a call to restore metaphysics to its sacred vocation in an age that has forgotten the soul. A major contribution to contemporary Islamic philosophy, phenomenology, and metaphysical futurism, this book belongs in the library of every scholar of religion, culture, and the digital humanities.
