| Summary: | "This study by Christian Jambet explores the essential merits of the philosophical system of Mulla Sadra Shirazi, an Iranian Shi'ite of the seventeenth century. The writings of Mulla Sadra Shirazi (1571-1640) bear witness to the divine revelation in every act of being, from the most humble to the most eminent. More generally, Islamic philosophy employs an ontology that belongs to our own universe of thought. Jambet's study seeks to make sense of this intuition of the real, nourished by the Sufism of Ibn al-Arabi, the philosophy of classic Islam, the thought inherited from the Greeks, and the esoteric and mystical dimensions of Shi'ism."--Jacket. |
