Exploring the concept of "ishraq," this work delves into its philosophical significance, particularly in relation to the interplay between the perceiving subject and the object of perception. Suhrawardi's use of the term encompasses mystical elements and various forms of knowledge, including personal inspiration. Despite his influence in the Islamic East, his writings were not translated into Latin, leaving him largely unknown in the West until modern scholars like Henry Corbin brought his ideas to light. This book sheds light on Suhrawardi's innovative perspectives on existence.
