Mulla Sadra Shirazi is the first attempt in English to produce a thorough preparatory study of the intellectual biography of this famous Safavid thinker. Previous attempts by other thinkers have been marred by ideological prejudice and the lack of serious intellectual rigour. A properunderstanding of Islamic intellectual history requires the study of canonical thinkers, of which Mulla Sadra is certainly one in the philosophical tradition of Iran. The book eschews legends and theoretical constructs of bibliography in favour of a rigorous life that draws upon a wide range ofprimary sources, many of which are unpublished, and that demonstrate the significance and context of the intellectual contributions of Mulla Sadra. Mulla Sadra Shirazi is quite a traditional biography in that it seeks to locate the life of the thinker and his works in his historical and intellectualcontent. The course of ideas in Islam is an area of research that is of great interest at the moment; even the study of philosophy has flourished in recent years. Consistently, with recent works on other Islamic philosophers, this book sets the standard for approaching Islamic intellectual historyby insisting upon an historical and source-critical approach, allied with a keen philological, but also philosophical, appreciation of the intellectual life of a thinker. The life is based upon the most recent scholarship on Safavid history and draws widely upon primary sources in Arabic andPersian, including a number of works in manuscript. For students of Islamic thought in the early modern period and those with a particular interest in philosophy in Safavid Iran, this book should be the first point of reference. Mulla Sadra Shirazi will become the foundation for further researchboth on Mulla Sadra and his thought, as well as the thought and intellectual trends of his period.

The Buddhist Tales of India, China, and Japan: India Section contains translations of one hundred and seventy-four stories in the section of China from Konjaku monogatarishu, the largest story collection in Japan, dating from the early twelfth century. The original work contains more than one thousand tales of India, China, and Japan. The fantastic assortment of characters in the work reminds one of Honore de Balzac's The Human Comedy whose nearly two thousand characters include all types and classes of people. The characters in the Konjaku may exceed this number since they include not only human beings, but also animals, plants, ghosts, spirits and demons, not to mention celestial beings such as Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and other deities which are certainly absent from The Human Comedy.

Mulla Sadra (1572–1640) is perhaps the single most important and influential philosopher in the Muslim world. The author of over forty works, he sought to bring to life the whole heritage of Islamic thought, from philosophy to mysticism, and create a more flexible and conciliatory approach to the problems which seemed to dissociate reason from faith. In this wide-ranging profile, Sayeh Meisami reaches beyond historical narrative to assess the true impact of the man and his ideas. This thought provoking and comprehensive account is ideal for readers interested in uncovering the life and thoughts of a man who represents the climax of intellectual tradition at a crucial point in the history of Islamic civilization.

Explores the philosophy of Mulla Sadra Shirazi.Mulla Sadra Shirazi emerges as an original philosopher who had a sure understanding of his Greek and Islamic predecessors. He is worthy of study by scholars concerned with the development of Islamic philosophy because of his attempt to reconcile various currents of Islamic philosophical thought, particularly the peripatetic tradition of Ibn Arabi. Modern existentialists will be interested in his basic concern with the reality of existence and the unreality of essences or general notions.

Exploring the thought of Mulla Sadra Shirazi, an Iranian Shi'ite of the seventeenth century: a universe of politics, morality, liberty, and order that is indispensable to our understanding of Islamic thought and spirituality.This lluminating study by Christian Jambet explores the essential elements of the philosophical system of Mulla Sadra Shirazi, an Iranian Shi'ite of the seventeenth century. The writings of Mulla Sadra Shirazi (d. 1640) bear witness to the divine revelation in every act of being, from the most humble to the most celebrated. More generally, Islamic philosophy employs an ontology of the real that is important to the destiny of metaphysics, an ontology that belongs to our own universe of thought. The Act of Being, nourished by the Sufism of Ibn al-'Arabi, the philosophy of classical Islam, the thought inherited from the Greeks, and the esoteric and mystical dimension of Shi'ism, seeks to make sense of this intuition of the real.Mulla Sadra saw the world as moving ceaselessly in an uninterrupted revolution of its substances, in which infinite existence breaks through the successive boundaries of the sensible and the intelligible, the mineral and the angelic. In a flourish of epiphanies, in the multiplied mirror of bodies and souls, Mulla Sadra perceived absolute divine liberty. Revealing freedom in the metamorphosis of the believer and the sage, existence teaches the imitation of the divine that can be seen "in its most beautiful form." Reading Mulla Sadra reveals the nexus of politics, morality, liberty, and order in his universe of thought―a universe, as Christian Jambet shows, that is indispensable to our understanding of Islamic thought and spirituality.

Mountain Stranger has two main characters, Sadra Pierce, and Saul Prescott. While the main characters are colorful and exciting, perhaps it is the secondary characters, the mountain people, who steal the show. It is this cast of characters that made up the wild times right after the Civil War in what later became the coal fields of Kentucky. Sadra Pierce has been in love with Saul Prescott since she first saw him during the war, but she is married to an abusive man chosen by her family. Her husband is killed after the war and when Saul Prescott comes back to the mountains looking for land, Sadra makes him a dealshe will give him her lumber rich land in exchange for marriage. The mother of two children and living in a harsh land, Sadra is not the usual character for a love story. She brings emotions and tenderness as well as mule-headed stubbornness into the life of a young Northerner who turned his back on his Southern wife and fought for the North. Saul Prescott feels he is not worthy of love and the fight begins between two determined people as family and friends join in. And in the midst of it all, the questions haunt each characterwho killed Sadra Pierces husband? Or is he really dead? As you turn the pages you will become immersed in this fast-paced drama.

This work marks the meeting point of four different traditions of the Quranic commentary: philosophical, Sufi, Shi'ite and theological. It also presents Mulla Sadra al-Shirazi's metaphysical commentary and records the earlier commentaries on the Light Verse. It is significant from the point of view of both the history of Quranic commentary and Islamic Philosophy. The most outstanding characteristic of Mulla Sadra's hermeneutic of the Light Verse is that he explains the meaning of light by establishing its metaphysics, encompassing ontology, cosmology, epistemology, psychology and spiritual wayfaring

Sadr al-Din Muhammad Shirazi (1572-1640), more commonly called Mulla Sadra, was one of the grand scholars of later-period Islamic philosophy and has grown to become one of the best-known Muslim philosophers. Iksir al-'arifin, or Elixir of the Gnostics, is unique among Sadra's writings in that it reworks and amplifies an earlier Persian work, the Jawidan-nama (Book of the Everlasting) by Afdal al-Din Kashani, or Baba Afdal.The underlying theme of Sadra's amplification is emblematic of Muslim philosophy: the importance of self-knowledge in an individual's journey of "Origin and Return," the soul's origins with God and its eventual return to Him. Everything, Sadra says, is on such a path, gradually disengaging from the material world and returning to a transcendent essence—all leading to a final fruition in which everything in the universe returns to God and finds permanent happiness. Philosophy, Sadra argues, is the most direct means to self-knowledge—and thus the best tool for navigating this journey.
