Sufism and Taoism

A Comparative Study of Key Philosophical Concepts

Beschreibung

Compares the metaphysical and mystical thought-systems of Sufism and Taoism and discovers that, although historically unrelated, the two share features and patterns which prove fruitful for a transhistorical dialogue.
