Henry Corbin’s seminal work, Creative Imagination in the Sūfism of Ibn ʿArabī (1958), marked a pivotal advancement in the study of Sufism and has significantly influenced our understanding of Islamic mysticism. This chapter explores critical perspectives on Corbin’s interpretations, particularly focusing on Michel Chodkiewicz’s critique. Chodkiewicz argues that Corbin deliberately avoids engaging with Ibn ʿArabi’s ultimate philosophical conclusion—the concept of ʿubuda, or the Sufi’s total submission to an infinite, indescribable God. I propose that Corbin’s avoidance was strategic, aimed at cultivating a unique metaphysical personalism. Contrary to the idea of self-annihilation in the divine, Corbin posited that the unspeakable God seeks to “personalize” Himself through the mystic. In this view, the realized human being (insan al-kamil) embodies the manifest presence of a concealed and ineffable deity. This interpretation allowed Corbin to explore themes of theophanic love and creative imagination within Ibn ʿArabi’s framework while aligning the discussion more closely with his own philosophical beliefs. Consequently, Corbin later shifted his focus to authors whose ideas resonated more with his philosophical orientation.
