“Unity of being” became an influential label in the reception of Ibn al-Arabi. Treating it as an exhaustive self-description of his work blurs differences among the primary corpus and later schools.
Distinctions and context
The vocabulary of Ibn al-Arabi, systems developed by Qunawi and later commentators, and their critics need distinct attribution. Modern scholarship cautions against flattening those trajectories.
Research question
Does the actual wording belong to the author, a commentator, or a modern scholar?
