Ibn al-Arabi's teachings influenced Western thought and culture in various ways, such as: 

• His doctrine of the unity of being inspired many Western philosophers, poets, and mystics, such as Giordano Bruno, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Blake, and Rumi1 2. 

• His concept of the imaginal world influenced the development of symbolic and archetypal psychology, especially the works of Carl Jung, Henry Corbin, and James Hillman1 3. 

• His metaphysical interpretation of Islamic law and ethics influenced the reformist movements of Islamic modernism and liberalism, especially the works of Muhammad Abduh, Muhammad Iqbal, and Seyyed Hossein Nasr1 . 

• His cosmological vision of the harmony of religions influenced the interfaith dialogue and the perennial philosophy, especially the works of Frithjof Schuon, Rene Guenon, and Huston Smith1 . 

Ibn al-Arabi's teachings have been translated and studied by many Western scholars and enthusiasts, and have contributed to the enrichment and diversity of Western intellectual and spiritual culture. However, his teachings have also been criticized and misunderstood by some Western orientalists and secularists, who have accused him of pantheism, irrationalism, and obscurantism1 2. Therefore, his teachings should be approached with respect and care, and with an awareness of their historical and cultural context.
