General Secondary Sources and Studies on Sunrawardi and Ishraqi Thought.

"The best rigorous modern philosophical study of the Illuminationist tradition and its successors is Toshihiko Izutsu, The Concept and Reality of Existence (Studies in the Humanities and Social Relations; Tokyo: Keio Institute of Cultural and Linguistic Studies, 1971); though it is mainly concerned with the nineteenth-century philosopher Sabziwari, it deals with the whole earlier ontological tradition. On Suhrawardi specifically, see my The Science of Mystic Lights and Ziai, Knowledge and Illumination [1990]; idem, "Shihāb al-Dĩn Suhrawardi," "The Illuminationist Tradition," and "Mullā Sadra: His Life and Works," in Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Oliver Leaman, eds., History of Islamic Philosophy (Routledge History of World Philosophies 1:1; London: Routledge, 1996), 434—96, 643-62. Older works from a philosophical perspective include Muhammad Iqbal, The Development of Metaphysics in Persia (Lahore: Bazm-Iqbal, 1959 [1908]), 96-116; A. Dānā-Sirisht, Khulāsa-i Afkār-i Suhrawardi wa Mullā Sadra (Tehran, 1934); Muhammad-'Alī Abu Rayyan, Usûl al-Falsafa al-Ishrãqtya (Beirut: Dar al-Ţalaba al-'Arab, 1969), and idem, "al-Ishraqïya Madrasa Aflaţunlya Islamĩya: Munaqashat Qadĩyat al-Maşdar al-īrānī," in Ibrahim Madkūr, ed., al-Kitāb al-Tidhkārī: Shaykh al-lshraq Shihāb al-Dln al-Suhrawardï (al-Mak֊ taba al-'Arabĩya 159; Cairo: Wizarat al-Thaqafa, 1394/1974), 37-62. There are, of course, many more articles" (Walbridge, 2000: 232).

"The present work is a critical edition of the section on physics of a large commentary on the Talwihat or Intimations, one of Suhrawardi’s so-called “Peripatetic” works written in the conventional style of Ibn Sina. Its metaphysical section was included in Corbin’s edition of Suhrawardi’s works, but, so far as I know, the physical portion has never been published. The present work is probably the most significant published text dealing with the physical doctrines of the early Illuminationist school; it is certainly the largest..."

  • ABSTRACT The distinction between existence and essence in contingent beings is one of the foundational doctrines of medieval philosophy. Building upon Neoplatonic precursors, thinkers such as Avicenna and Aquinas debated its nature. However, one Islamic philosopher, who had an enormous influence on the development of philosophical discourse in Iran, subverted the traditional Peripatetic vision of reality and disputed the ontological nature of existence. Through a critique of the Peripatetic notion of existence, Suhrawardi demonstrated the irrelevance of the distinction for metaphysical inquiry, which should, instead, rely upon an eidetic vision of the `hierarchy of lights' I shall explain why the later tradition advocated an essentialist (mis)reading of Suhrawardi and suggest that the Platonic hermeneutic of essential vision which Suhrawardi expounds, might be the reason for it. Later philosophers in the Islamic tradition had mistaken methodology for a description of reality [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
