The influence of Ibn Arabi, the 12th century Andalusian mystic philosopher extended beyond the Muslim world from Spain, to China, to Indonesia. Interest in Ibn Arabi in the west has grown over the last century. Ibn Arabi and the Contemporary West examines Arabi s teachings through the work of the Beshara Trust and the Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi Society. The study investigates how the Beshara School has used Ibn Arabi s teachings in assisting a range of students from around the world towards personal, spiritual development and how the Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi Society has evolved into an international organisation with increasing influence in both the West and the Muslim world.
