Summary/Abstract: This article articulates the glaring gaps in the academic study of sufism by first exposing the unexamined set of scientific-materialist presuppositions upon which the western study of humanities is based. Part of expanding the context of inquiry is to not only read texts rigorously, but to go beyond these texts and investigate scientifically the subjective basis of sufi practice, precisely what has been avoided up to now. Such new approaches move the study of sufism out of armchair scholarship to bring life and much larger vistas to sufi studies. The rest of the article outlines how the contributions of transpersonal psychology and anthropology of consciousness can move the study of sufism into the 21st century.
