प्रकाश का दर्शन (हिक्मत अल-इश्राक़)

परिचय

Suhrawardi wrote this Arabic work, according to his own note, in 1186, five years before his execution in Aleppo. It has two parts. The first criticises Peripatetic logic, especially the claim that definitions convey the essence of things. The second develops a metaphysics of light: everything that exists is light or darkness, ranked by intensity, from the Light of Lights down to bodies. Suhrawardi claims to revive a wisdom shared by Hermes, Plato and ancient Persian sages. Commentaries by Shahrazuri and Qutb al-Din Shirazi made it a school text, and Henry Corbin’s edition of 1952 made it known in Western scholarship.
