Al-Munqidh min al-Ḍalāl · Deliverance from Error

A short autobiography of doubt: the systematic dismantling of every source of certainty he had, the physical collapse that ended his teaching career, the years of wandering, and the conclusion that the taste of the thing cannot be had from the description of it.

One of the very few first-person accounts of a mystical crisis written by someone with nothing to gain by it. A useful corrective to every tidy diagram in this app, including its own.
