      In the time of quarantine, I've started to read Persian mystics. I'm now convinced more than ever that they were all insurgent philosophers under hypercamouflage. Who says 'اَهدِم الکعبه' unless a true promethean who wants human storm the heavens?

      it’s also an incredible generalization, Hallaj you could arguably call an ‘insurgent’ but there was emphatically no “camoflague” involved there. In later centuries the kind of sentiments you’ve quoted are tropes and clichés

      many persian sufis actually state their beliefs about god in their ‘prose’ writings, which while far more complex and variegated than this silly idea of “humanity storming the heavens,” generally follow some permutation of wahdat al-wujud

      You are most probably an Islamist. Hallaj was extremely careful to not reveal his philosophical alliances until his return from the third hajj when he was under the influence of Babouyeh and Nobakhti took a more confrontational stance.

      well, i will take your word on the meaning of “storming the heavens” since it was only you who said it, but i have no reason to take your word on the meaning of what others say, especially when it is so much more boring than the explanation those others have provided

      If you had some Marxist upbringing you wouldn't have that storming the heaven is a trivial injunction. It's the very essence of historical self-consciousness wherein all illusions of completed totalities will dissolve.

          there seem to be a few 'completed totalities' (essence, self) invoked in this repudiation of totalities; Derrida in his 'Spectres' lectures had to deal with this paradoxical strain in Marx, esp. in his treatment of french revolutionary politics

          The idea of a completed totality is a metaphysical illusion upon which religion has built so many house of cards.
