SUFI PHENOMENOLOGICAL TIME

Abstract

Su­fi phe­no­me­no­logy pre­sents a synthe­sis mer­ging Su­fism with Hus­serl's phe­no­me­no­logy and brid­ges Eastern and Wes­tern phi­lo­sop­hi­cal tra­di­ti­ons. Ac­cor­ding to Su­fi phe­no­me­no­logy, ti­me ac­com­pa­ni­es the cog­ni­ti­ve pro­cess, and its tra­jec­tory fol­lows a cyclic pat­tern. Thus, the “now,” si­tua­ted at the cross-po­int of the di­vi­ne and ma­te­ri­al li­nes of ti­me, ser­ves as the ge­ne­sis of cons­ci­o­us­ness, with ti­me ac­ting as the de­fi­ning bo­un­dary of cog­ni­ti­on. This app­ro­ach not only fa­ci­li­ta­tes comp­re­hen­si­on of the int­ri­ca­te re­la­ti­ons­hip bet­we­en the “now” and uni­ver­sal ti­me but al­so sheds light on no­vel pers­pec­ti­ves re­gar­ding the con­nec­ti­ons bet­we­en cog­ni­ti­on and ti­me, as well as spa­ce and ti­me.
