اللامعقول الصوفي : نحو قراءة مغايرة

Abstract EN

This research paper, proposes to reconsider the binary taxonomic scheme, that the Arab modernists’ reading of the Gnostic heritage, and according to which the boundary between the “rational” and the the “irrational unreasonable” mysticism has been established, as mutually opposite parties that do not meet, the presence of one requires the absence of the other.

This binary scheme – that has been devoted to knowledge and culture is based on an exclusionary ideology ideological conception that strips the Gnostic mind of the reasonableness whose meaning has been narrowed down and its borders cordoned off., This paper therefore, comes to reconsider the rationalist Gnostic legacy according to a different conception, which broadens the semantic horizon of the mind and puts it in front of the task of permanent review of its statements .
