For the public at large Shi’ism often implies a host of confused representations, suggesting more often than not obscurantism, intolerance, political violence and other ignominies running hot or cold in response to world events. In fact for many people, Shi’ism stands for "radical Islam", or – worse – "Islamic terrorism". In some respects, nothing is more familiar than Shi’ism, and yet nothing is more misunderstood. For some twenty years the media have increased their coverage of the phenomenon. Never, or only rarely, do they formulate the question we ask here: what is Shi’ism? What is this belief that inspires millions of people dispersed throughout the world?
This book provides a broad based introduction to Shi’i Islam. It examines what the Shi’i believe, how they see themselves and how they view the world. It includes a thorough examination of doctrine, philosophy, the Shi’i approach to the Qur’an and the historical evolution of Shi’ism as a branch of Islam. Too often, and too quickly, the conclusion is drawn that Shi’ism is a marginal heretical sect, fundamentally alien to the deeper truth of the great religion of Islam, thrust by historical accident onto the political stage. Shi’ism either speaks the truth of Islam, meaning that it is a truth of terror, or it is entirely foreign to Islam and, therefore, merits outright rejection, as Islamic fundamentalists and some individuals repeatedly claim. This book intends to explain why such common misunderstandings of Shi’ism have taken root.
Written in an accessible format and providing a thorough overview of Shi’ism, this book will be an essential text for students and scholars of Islamic Studies or Iranian Studies.

Dirigé par Christian Jambet.Ce Cahier veut aider à connaître l''œuvre d''un philosophe majeur, Henry Corbin. Henry Corbin dit souvent que le sens d''une œuvre vivante est d''être vivante au présent : lire, ce n''est pas mesurer l''écart qui nous rend étranger ce que nous avons sous les yeux, la part d''ombre nécessaire que la langue ou les coutumes ont déposée sur l''œuvre.Voilà pourquoi les livres de Corbin ont leur destin devant eux. Ils ne sont pas seulement, principalement, les maillons d''une longue chaîne d''érudition. Ils réussissent au contraire à mettre le savoir le plus étendu au service de l''interprétation philosophique.Corbin est de ceux qui ont inauguré une philosophie se donnant l''exigence d''un long détour. Celui de l''exploration phénoménologique rigoureuse, la plus complète possible, fidèle aux différences, capable de maîtriser un univers foisonnant d''événements multiples et hiérarchisés.Par le détour de l''Orient, Corbin enrichit la phénoménologie générale, il met en lumière des formes de la conscience originales et impressenties. Loin de rejeter l''Occident, sa culture, son horizon, Corbin se voue au contraire à son salut, à son maintien.Son œuvre est précieuse, non seulement pour le philosophe ou l''artiste, mais aussi, pour tout homme qui ressent en sa propre vie le désir de préserver la seule chose qui compte, la Création.Numérisation réalisée avec le soutien du CNL.
