The Cosmic Human - From Zarathustra to Ibn ʿArabi: الإنسان الكوني -
The Cosmic Human - From Zarathustra to Ibn ʿArabi
(الإنسان الكوني - بين عودة زرادشت وعودة ابن عربي)
In an age marked by uncertainty, collapsing grand narratives, and the erosion of spiritual and political certainties, this book proposes a bold encounter: Friedrich Nietzsche's Zarathustra, the prophet of the "death of God" and the call for the bermensch, meeting Ibn ʿArabi, the great Sufi master of "continuous creation" and the vision of the Perfect Human.
This work explores the impossible dialogue between two figures who embody opposite horizons:
Zarathustra, who descends from the mountain to declare the void and the courage of self-creation.
Ibn ʿArabi, who descends from the mountain of unveiling to affirm the divine plenitude that renews existence at every instant.
Through this tension, the book asks a central question: What kind of human being can carry meaning in our fractured world? Is it the Nietzschean "overman" who breaks idols through will to power, or the Sufi "perfect human" who gathers the divine names and reconciles contradictions?
Blending philosophy, mysticism, and contemporary reflections, the author situates this dialogue within the challenges of our time: the crisis of modernity, the rise of nihilism, the search for identity, and the urgent need for a new spiritual and ethical horizon.
The Cosmic Human is not merely a comparison between East and West, philosophy and mysticism. It is a map for re-imagining humanity itself-an invitation to readers to transcend both chaos and emptiness, and to glimpse a new synthesis where strength meets compassion, and freedom meets meaning
