Philosophical Mysticism

For Arabi, man’s totality is composed of that which is obvious (zahir), and that which is hidden (batin). Arabi’s genius is to have melted this seeming division. At this time formal schools of law where coming about. The early rapture of the early mystics had no solid standing point. So, Arabi created a philosophy that gave coherence to the mystical rapture of the early mystics.
