Illuminating the Divine: The Influence of Neo-Platonism in Islamic Philosophy
"Illuminating the Divine: The Influence of Neo-Platonism in Islamic Philosophy" explores the profound synthesis of Neo-Platonic thought with Islamic intellectual traditions, a fusion that has shaped the contours of Islamic philosophy, theology, and mysticism for centuries. This work delves into the lives and legacies of seminal Islamic philosophers who, inspired by the rich tapestry of Neo-Platonism, embarked on a quest to understand the divine and articulate a vision of the cosmos that bridges the finite with the infinite. Through their engagement with Neo-Platonic principles, these thinkers developed sophisticated metaphysical frameworks, ethical theories, and models of knowledge that continue to resonate within the Islamic world and beyond. This book invites readers on a journey through the intellectual endeavors of these philosophers, illuminating the paths they carved in the pursuit of knowledge and the universal quest for understanding the divine. Keywords: Neo-Platonism, Islamic philosophy, metaphysics, theology, mysticism, Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, Suhrawardi, Ibn al-Arabi, emanation, unity of being, intellectual history, cross-cultural transmission.
