Assembled by Idries Shah, The World of the Sufi is a
comprehensive collection of learned essays and papers on the subject of Sufi
thought. One of the book’s attractions is the way that it considers central
questions and areas of study from different angles. Sufi literature, the use of
humour, and Sufi communities in various cultural settings, are some of the many
subjects discussed. In addition, experts in their fields comment on areas such
as Sufism and Psychiatry, Indian Thought and the Sufis, and Therapy and the
Sufi. Among the book's contributors are Idries Shah, Doris Lessing, Peter Brent
and Dr. Arthur J. Deikman.
