Beskrivning

In Opposition to Philosophy in Safavid Iran, Ata Anzali and S. M. Hadi Gerami offer a critical edition of a hitherto unpublished manuscript that is arguably the most erudite and extensive polemical work against philosophy and philosophical mysticism from the Safavid period. The introduction offers an extensive and in-depth analysis of the status of philosophy in the late Safavid period, placing Mulla Muhammad-Tahir Qummi’s (d. 1689) work in the broader context of the relevant cultural and intellectual developments of his time.The content of Hikmat al-‘arifin itself is divided between a refutation of many traditional philosophical arguments about the nature of God and His attributes and, more importantly for those interested in Safavid intellectual history, attacks on Mulla Sadra and his students for synthesizing fundamental elements Ibn ‘Arabi’s thought into the framework of traditional philosophical discourse.

Recensioner i media

“The quality of editing of the Arabic text, by Muhammad Hadi Gerami, is to be praised. He has done a tremendous amount of work to make the text accessible to a wider readership. The indexes are prepared meticulously and facilitate use of the edited text. All in all, Gerami’s edition of Ḥikmat al-ʿārifīn is a major contribution to the history of intellectual and political life in Safavid Iran.” Kioumars Ghereghlou, in the Journal of the American Oriental Society 140/2 (2020)
