1. Given that so many of the Old Believers seem to have left or are lying low on Twitter, I might as well get on with preaching to the Remnant Reprobate Heathen. Here’s some thoughts on #imagination from Henry Corbin, the great Shī’ite/Sufi scholar at The #Sorbonne, writ 1955-56. 
2. “It may also seem misplaced to speak of spirituality in a study of the Imagination. We shall try to show in what sense this Imagination is creative: because it is essentially the ACTIVE Imagination … a theophanic* Imagination.” p. 6
* God-illuminating or manifesting.
* God-illuminating or manifesting.
3. “… the creative energy produced by the concentration of the heart (himma) … in studying Ibn Arabi’s ‘method of theophanic prayer’, the creative prayer that becomes dialogue, creative because it is at once God’s prayer and man’s prayer.” p. 40.

#PPLSecuriteGlobale et floutage des forces de l'ordre : les avocats de la @BlackRobeBrigad dénoncent une "atteinte à la démocratie et à la liberté d'expression "
Dans cette vidéo, on entend un prof de droit de la #Sorbonne livrer de longs "avis personnels" homophobes et transphobes, ce qui est atterrant (et grave). Et, au milieu, une rapide référence discrète au Moyen Âge... Discrète, certes, mais révélatrice. Petit décryptage ⬇️
L'extrait concerné est celui-ci. A 1'34, le prof en question explique que bientôt viendront « probablement des pays nordiques » d'autres lois qu'il juge absurdes : après le mariage homosexuel, ce sera bientôt (dit-il) le tour du mariage zoophile !
(passons sur le fait qu'il s'agit d'une comparaison extrêmement insultante, mais surtout totalement idiote. Le mariage étant d'abord et surtout l'union légale de deux consentements, j'attends impatiemment le jour où une jument dira dans une mairie « oui, je le veux ! »)
A number of encounters made me think of the significance of #Hegel (1780-1831) as a bridge between premodern and modern philosophy in #Iran 1/
Henri Bergson (1859-1941) and his processual approach to self, matter, creativity, intuition and free will had an influence not just on continental philosophy but also on #existentialism and #personalism in the #Islamicate milieu - a thread on #postcolonial #Bergson 1/
I first came across #Bergson notions of creativity, duration and time in the work of Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) in his Reconstruction (my copy as an undergrad) and Bedil in the Light of Bergson allamaiqbal.com/publications/j… 2/
Years later I came across the work of Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Abdennour Bidar (b. 1971) that indicated the abiding #postcolonial interest in #Bergson #Iqbal and #Lahbabi 3/
Just got this wonderful book of interview reminiscences by Daryush Shayegan (1935-2018) with #RaminJahanbegloo 1/
#Shayegan was sent to school in #England after WW2 and then read philosophy, Sanskrit and literature at #Geneva 2/
#Shayegan was close to #Corbin and his life’s account is a wonderful journey in the #intellectual_history of #Iran and its encounter with #Europe 3/
The reception of #EuropeanPhilosophy in #Iran is around 100 years old and #Nashr_e_nay in #Tehran has been at the forefront of publishing translations - a thread on #translation in #ContemporaryIranianPhilosophy and the work of ‘Abdol-Karim Rashidiyan 1/
#Rashidiyan (b. 1948) is a professor of philosophy at #ShahidBeheshti university in #Tehran one of the best departments in #Iran and received his PhD from #Sorbonne in 1978; especially known for his translations of #continentalphilosophy 2/
Early on he translated the famous manifesto of William James (1842-1910) - Pragmatism 3/

Les occupants de #Tolbiac narguent en musique les dizaines de CRS groupés aux abords de la fac
Des passants s’arrêtent pour écouter la musique
Devant les grilles de #tolbiac, les passants et les soutiens s’amassent. Une prof se dit « inquiète » pour ses étudiants à l’intérieur. Les occupants appellent les volontaires les rejoindre. @TolbiacLibre vit peut être ses dernières heures... mais toujours en musique
