Imaginaires féminins et figures féminines dans l’oeuvre de Henry Corbin

This article aims to clarify the role and context of female figures in Henry Corbin’s work. It will then attempt to circumscribe how these figures open the way to a surpassing of dualism, towards what Corbin calls dualitude. Finally, after the positioning of the notions of imagination and imaginal in relation to their metaphysical-epistemological function in Corbin’s writings, the analysis will return to the influence of Sergei Bulgakov and Carl Gustav Jung, as these authors influenced Corbin in the technical use he makes of the “feminine” in his work
