On "Islamic mysticism" and "Islamic mystical literature" - the question of naming

Summary/Abstract: In Western academic circles the phenomena of Islamic esotericism and literary traditions which originated from it are often termed "Islamic mysticism" and "Islamic mystical literature". This paper questions the basis and justification for the use of those terms, by analysing the corpus of three key texts as primary Persian-language sources for Islamic esotericism, and by discussing the use of those terms from a phenomenological, as well as etymological and semantic perspectives.
