Sufism and Taoism by Toshihiko Izutsu
Compares the metaphysical and mystical thought-systems of Sufism and Taoism and discovers that, although historically unrelated, the two share features and patterns which prove fruitful for a transhistorical dialogue. The author's original and suggestive approach opens new doors in the study of comparative philosophy and mysticism.
Toshihiko Izutsu was Professor Emeritus at Keio University of Japan. A world authority on Islamic thought, he taught for ten years in Iran and was active in promoting transcultural dialogue in philosophy.
