Saiyad, fellow awoken here... would love for you to overview Ibn Arabi extensively. Your analysis would be enriching for this Islamic thinker (I''m Trad Cath).
Thank you for this suggestion. Ibn al-ʿArabī is a seminal figure in Islamic thought. I have been thinking of doing a video about him for sometime, but he is a very complex figure and I fear it would be a very long video.
Thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoyed the video. However, despite the fact that the term "dope" in modern American vernacular may be used as a term of approbation, I do not appreciate it in reference to my content. It befits the seeker of knowledge to approach subjects such as the one dealt with in this lecture with respect and reverence and reflect this in his choice of words and use of language.
@@SaiyadNizamuddinAhmad I wonder which one of those languages is most worth one's time. I'm confused between Sanskrit and classical Chinese. The Buddhist corpus in Chinese is far larger, plus there's the whole of Daoism there. Whereas Sanskrit contains the literature of the various darshanas. Hoca, which language would you recommend to someone just starting to branch out outside the Islamicate, and wanting to do comparative work?
@@SaiyadNizamuddinAhmad true, but with some languages you have an advantage, which might make them fruitful for scholarly work. Hocam, have you felt that your familiarity with Hindi/Urdu made it easier to approach Sanskrit?
Thank you! But I want to say, firstly, that for Heidegger there is an essential difference between "Being" (Sein) and "existence" (Existenz), we can't say, when talking about his thought, "Being or existence"; Being is for all "beings", Existence is only for Human being, he is the only being that exists. The existence is related to Dasein; we can speak of existence if only there is a Dasein. And secondly, that I want to refer to another point related with Heidegger also. When you speak about "Nothingness" in Buddhism, Heidegger had, in 1964 I think, a dialogue with a Buddhist monk who visited him in Germany. When the monk talk about meditation and what does it mean for Eastern humanity, he speaks about the idea of Nothingness, when the "I" dissolves until in the end one thing remains: Nothingness, but this Nothing is not nothing, it's just the opposite: Fullness. No one can name this. Heidegger understands this and says: "this is what I have been saying throughout my whole life". The monk says: "Come to my country; we understand you".
Do you yourself understand what the monk meant when he said that the dissolution of the 'I' 'brings forth', so to speak, Nothingness, and that it is in 'actuality', again, so to speak, Fullness? Did you understand what Heidegger meant when he said 'this is what I have been saying throughout my whole life'?

@@SaiyadNizamuddinAhmad Yes this is very understandable would perhaps be more suited as a series of some sort.
Masterful

30:37 wow!
Hocam, is your interest in non-Islamicate languages an attempt to traverse the scholarly footsteps of Izutsu?
I think to some degree that is true.
