In this issue, academician Mehmed Akšamija continues his epoch-making story about the horizons of the spirit of “art” with a review of the immanent and transcendental dimensions of “art in Islam” through the figure and work of Homo Islamicus.

If "the true purpose of 'art' is to, first of all, cultivate the spiritual nature of the 'artist' himself" (George Inness), then Akšamija's inventive story about Homo Islamicus is exactly that - the story of an “artist” in Islam, who sees himself and the world around him in the infinite lines of his longings and thoughts, which lead him rapturously to the infinite First (al-Awwal) and Last (Al-Ākhir), to the Visible (Zāhir) and the Invisible (Bāṭin), the Creator and Lord of the worlds - the multiverse.
