ShihÄb al-DÄ«n al-SuhrawardÄ« (d. 587/1191) is arguably the most influential thinker in post-Avicennan (d. 428/1037) philosophy. He is best known as the originator of the Philosophy of Illumination, a mixture of Hellenistic, old-Iranian, and mystico-Islamic elements, further developed and transformed in the Transcendental Philosophy of MullÄ á¹¢adrÄ (d. 1050/1640). SuhrawardÄ« wrote four major works on the Philosophy of Illunination: al-TalwīḥÄt al-lawḥiyya wal-Ê¿arshiyya, al-MuqÄwamÄt, al-MashÄriÊ¿ wal-muá¹ÄraḥÄt, and the Ḥikmat al-ishrÄq. This was also the order in which these works had to be studied. The TalwīḥÄt being an introductory course on the Philosophy of Illumination, it is not surprising that three commentaries on it were written, by Ê¿AllÄma ḤillÄ« (d. 726/1326), Shams al-DÄ«n al-ShahrazÅ«ri (d. 687/1288), and Ibn KammÅ«na (d. 683/1284), whose commentary is published here. Ibn KammÅ«na was a thinker of Jewish origin who by his own declaration was self-taught in philosophy. He wrote several other important philosophical works, among them his commentary of Avicennaâs IshÄrÄt. Volume 1, Logic.
