Meer over het boek

Focusing on the philosophical contributions of Suhrawardi, this work explores his pivotal role in shifting Islamic thought from Avicenna's neo-Aristotelianism to a more mystical orientation. It delves into the Neoplatonic roots of his "Illuminationist" philosophy, highlighting the influence of figures like Pythagoras and Plato. The author emphasizes mystical intuition and symbolism as essential elements of Suhrawardi's approach, while also providing a translation of his significant dream that reveals the foundations of his epistemology.
