	Biography / Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr
		He was offered a scholarship and was the first Iranian student to be admitted as an undergraduate at M.I.T. He began his studies at M.I.T in the Physics Department with some of the most gifted students in the country and outstanding professors of physics.
		Nasr initiated the important move of teaching Islamic philosophy on the basis of its own history and from its own perspective and to encourage his Iranian students to study other philosophies and intellectual traditions from the point of view of their own tradition.
		Nasr's great interest in the philosophy of one of the greatest later Islamic philosophers, Mulla Sadra resulted in the publication of the Mulla Sadra written by the traditional masters of Islamic philosophy.

		These regions and far beyond, teem with pure Iranian place-names to this day; and you meet in and around even the Peshawar district individuals bearing names of old Iranian heroes which, if the theory of persecution-mongers be correct, would be an anathema to the bigoted followers of Muhammad.
		Wide imperial aims were united with a plenitude of solid organisation of government so perfect that it passed into a proverb among the Arabs.
		In this connection Iranian tradition among the Musalmans as transmitted by Arab writers must take precedence of a similar transmission, the Christian literature of the East, where all possibility was excluded of polemics such as obtained under the Moslem domination between the pro-Iranian and anti-Iranian parties.

	al-Suhrawardi, Shihab al-Din Yahya (1154-91)
		Although arising out of the peripatetic philosophy developed by Ibn Sina, al-Suhrawardi's Illuminationist philosophy is critical of several of the positions taken by Ibn Sina, and radically departs from the latter through the creation of a symbolic language to give expression to his metaphysics and cosmology, his 'science of lights'.
		For subsequent Islamic philosophy, he was above all the conceiver and main proponent of the theory of the primacy of quiddity.
		By basing his philosophy on light, al-Suhrawardi was able to introduce two important notions which may be thought of as the seeds of the entire system: that of intensity and gradation, and that of presence and self-manifestation.

	MU Press: Marquette Studies in Philosophy
		Philosophy for Africa answers yes to both these questions.It deals with the question of human freedom, and the problem of liberation (in its most comprehensive sense), in the context of contemporary Africa (especially South Africa) and its struggle to overcome the predicament in which European colonialism (and apartheid) has left it.
		This autobiography fosters the retrieval of the sense of the mystery of being, thus reorienting philosophy as an awakening of the creativity at the heart of this sense of being.
		Employing a geographic metaphor, he claimed that philosophy was the continent of his work while his plays formed the off-shore islands; but what was deepest was music as the water that conjoins the two.

		Philosophy revived through the adaptation of the Neoplatonism of Late Antiquity to Islam: the One became God, and the lesser gods became angels.
		There was actually a Platonic Academy founded in Florence by the 15th century ruler and patron of the arts Cosimo de' Medici (Cosimo the Elder, 1389-1464).
		The Platonism of this academy was really a form of Neoplatonism, with a Platonic/Christian twist which emphasized love as the avenue through which the individual could return, in the Neoplatonic sense, to God.

		It means for this philosophy that the self as unitary consciousness ascertains the correspondence of the mental objects-- i.e., the concepts or representations which are presented in the mind --with their external objects-- i.e., the external example and instance of those concepts and representations.
		As much as it is relevant to the philosophy of Mulla Sadra, this conception is a return from the external world into the internal one; from the physical cosmos into the Divine universe, from the material world into the world of Ideas, and lastly from creation into the creator.
		In Cartesian philosophy and in philosophy of Mulla Sadra, spiritual substantiality of the soul is the firm foundation of certain knowledge.

	Mir Damad, Muhammad Baqir (d. 1631)
		He brings together a variety of different traditions in Islamic philosophy, incorporating both the sort of philosophy advocated by Aristotle and its later development by the Neoplatonists, and combining them with the mystical views of Islamic thinkers.
		He wrote on philosophy and theology, prophetic and Imami traditions, Shi'i law, Qur'anic commentary, ethics and mysticism as well as on logic.
		The question of the pre-eternity (qidam) or createdness (huduth) of the world is one of the oldest and most enduring questions of Islamic philosophy, deeply rooted in the early Mu'tazilite codification of Islamic theology (Watt 1962: 58-71; Fakhry 1983: 67-8; Leaman 1985: 11-12, 132-4).
