What Stands Out
Scholarly Insight
This hardcover edition offers an in-depth analysis of illumination philosophy, making complex ideas accessible for both scholars and casual readers interested in Islamic thought and philosophy.
High-Quality Binding
Crafted with durable hardcover material, this book ensures longevity and elegance, appealing to collectors and library enthusiasts seeking robust additions to their academic collections.
Cultural Relevance
The book addresses vital themes in Islamic philosophy, bridging gaps in understanding for those exploring intercultural dialogue in contemporary discussions, making it a valuable resource for educators and students alike.
Product Details
- The book 'The Philosophy of Illumination' is part of Brigham Young University's Islamic Translation Series.
- The book discusses the philosophy of Shihäb al-Din al-Suhrawardi, who rejected Avicennan Peripatetic philosophy and sought to revive the philosophical tradition of the Ancients.
- Suhrawardi's philosophy emphasizes an epistemological role for immediate and atemporal intuition, and is explicitly anti-Peripatetic, aligning with the pre-Aristotelian sages, especially Plato.
- The subject of 'hikmat al-Ishraq' is the science of lights, a science that Suhrawardi learned through mystical exercises, logical proofs, and experiences of the Ancients.
- The book is now available in English for the first time, offering insights into Suhrawardi's unique philosophical perspectives.
- Despite his contributions, Suhrawardi was reluctantly put to death by the son of Saladin, the sultan of Egypt, in 1191.
