Illuminationist Texts and Textual Studies: Essays in Memory of Hossein Ziai de Ali Gheissari

Illuminationist Texts and Textual Studies: Essays in Memory of Hossein Ziai: Iran Studies, cartea 16

Editat de Ali Gheissari, Ahmed Alwishah, John Wallbridge
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 noi 2017
The late Professor Hossein Ziai’s interests focused on the Illuminationist (Ishrāqī) tradition. Dedicated to his memory, this volume deals with the post-Avicennan philosophical tradition in Iran, and in particular the Illuminationist school and later philosophers, such as those associated with the School of Isfahan, who were fundamentally influenced by it. The focus of various chapters is on translations, editions, and close expositions of rationalist works in areas such as epistemology, logic and metaphysics rather than mysticism more generally, and also on specific texts rather than themes or studies of individual philosophers. The purpose of the volume is to introduce new texts into the modern canon of Islamic and Iranian philosophy. Various texts in this volume have not been previously translated nor have they been the subject of significant Western scholarship.

Recenzii

"This volume delivers what the editors promise at the outset: to introduce “new texts into the modern canon of Islamic and Iranian philosophy” (p. ix). It puts together scholarly editions of many texts which have not been available to Western readers, along with highly engaging introductions, helpful notes, and detailed bibliographies. For this, the editors and contributors deserve our gratitude." - Rasoul Namazi in Iranian Studies (2020)
