This article presents the theory of sainthood found in the writings of Dāwūd al-Qayṣarī (d. 751/1350), a major commentator on the Sufi thought of Ibn ʿArabī (d. 638/1240). Building on previous philosophical interpretations of Ibn ʿArabī’s thought to systematize the worldview now known as the “Oneness of Being” (waḥdat al-wujūd), Qayṣarī also developed a sophisticated theory of sainthood that not only described, but explained in detail what a saint was, how to become one, and what made the methods for doing so effective. After a historical introduction, I examine the principles of Qayṣarī’s hagiology in the broader context of his worldview, with special attention to his innovative use of philosophical language. Finally, my analysis of the spiritual path in Qayṣarī’s writings shows the consistency with which his account of Sufi wayfaring reflects these principles, according to which the acquisition of sainthood was a journey from the particular to the universal.

接近真实:达乌德·盖萨里思想中作为本体接近的圣人

本文介绍了在 Dāwūd al-Qayṣarī(卒于 751/1350 年)的著作中发现的圣人理论,后者是 Ibn ʿArabī(卒于 638/1240 年)苏菲派思想的主要评论家。建立在以前对伊本·阿拉比思想的哲学解释的基础上,系统化了现在被称为“存在的一体性”的世界观 ( waḥdat al-wujūd),盖萨里还发展了一套复杂的圣人理论,不仅描述,而且详细解释了圣人是什么,如何成为圣人,以及是什么使这样做的方法如此有效。在介绍了历史之后,我在他的世界观的更广泛背景下审视了盖萨里的圣徒学原则,特别关注他对哲学语言的创新使用。最后,我对盖萨里著作中的精神道路的分析表明,他对苏菲旅行的描述与这些原则一致,根据这些原则,获得圣人是从特殊到普遍的旅程。
