The philosopher and anthropologist Youssef Seddik, translator and Islamologist specializing in ancient Greece and the anthropology of the Koran, invites the listener to discover Sufism through an erudite presentation that defies preconceived ideas on the subject. Sufism is not just a mysticism, it is a reflection on the relationship between man and God, from the individual to the collective. The author presents the great figures of Sufism who contributed to a reflection on sacred texts and developed this original thought. By tracing the history of Sufi thought, the author reveals an unsuspected link between the East and the West, that of the influence of Sufism on European philosophies and religions. This new approach shifts the focus of a history of thought in the West to consider it as a melting pot irrigated by multiple influences.
