Placing Senegalese scholar and Sufi Shaykh, Ibrahim Niasse (1900-1975), in dialogue with the German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), this book considers meditations on Being through the affects of human experience.At the heart of the divergence between these two philosophers lies a fundamental difference in their conceptions of time: Heidegger views death as the definitive end of existence, whereas Niasse envisions existence as oriented toward apocatastasis—a return to divine origin. Yet Philipp Valentini moves beyond this contrast to examine how both philosophers root their inquiries into Being in the realm of human affect. He draws compelling parallels between their treatments of shared affective states such as dismay, vengeance, relationality (being with another), and the experience of slow, extended time.While previous studies have approached the relationship between Heidegger and the Islamicate intellectual tradition either historically or through speculative hybridization, Valentini offers a more nuanced comparative analysis. Through an insightful juxtaposition of modern Sufi and Heideggerian thought, Valentini reveals how both thinkers engage affect under the guidance of overarching metaphysical ideas. Ultimately, On the Affective Moods of Being invites readers to reflect on a profound question: what guiding idea should shape our affective experience of Being?

Jacques Lacan was fascinated with forms of the "religious" throughout his life, from monotheism, which shaped his account of the signifier, to modern occultism, as he was well acquainted with the writings of figures such as Oskar Goldberg and René Guénon. Lacan also repeatedly turned to non-European religiosities to test the limits of psychoanalytic theory. In his yearly seminars he engaged with traditions such as Kabbalah and Taoism, going beyond the Western Christian, capitalist and postcolonial setting of the French university to search for a possible outside to psychoanalysis. But such a quest ultimately recapitulates Lacan's constant awareness of the desire for a new master, and the still open question regarding the names and meanings that this desire may yield. This anthology of eleven essays, which travel from gnosticism to sufism, from afro-pessimism to post-68 ex-Maoist apocalypticism, investigates these unresolved threads that Lacan left behind. Beneath the exoteric psychoanalytic apparatus of Lacan's thought, there is an esoteric Lacan who remains unexplored.
