Jari Kaukua on Suhrawardi's Illuminationism and Critique of Avicenna
Показать описание
On Monday June 12th, we had a discussion with Jari Kaukua on his new book Suhrawardī’s Illuminationism. Suhrawardī (1154–1191) was a brilliant thinker who introduced a new philosophical system known as illuminationism. The system is indebted to Platonism and was "developed as an alternative to Avicennian Peripateticism, the emerging philosophical mainstream of his time." Among other things, Kaukua's book discusses how Suhrawardī’s illuminationist metaphysics defends Platonic Forms against Aristotelian refutations.
