For many years used as a textbook in Iran, this short text offers English readers a readily accessible, lucid, and yet deeply learned, guide through the Sadrian, Avicennan, and Illuminationist schools of thought, whilst also demonstrating how the 'living tradition' of Shi'i philosophy engages with central ontological, epistemological, aetiological, and psychological questions. Discussions include the primacy of existence; the proper classifications of quiddity; and the manifold properties of causality and causal explanation. This is the first of the various influential works authored by this leading Shi'i intellectual to have been translated into English from the original Persian. 546 $a Translated from the Persian. 650 0 $a Metaphysics. 650 0 $a Islamic philosophy. 700 1 $a Cooper, John, $d 1947 August 24- $e translator. 700 1 $a Ahmad, Saiyad Nizamuddin, $d 1966- $e editor. 830 0 $a Modern Shiah library ; $v v. 2. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019025231.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210304013121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=087E1472621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
