Abstract

This book contains the reports from the conference “Islamic philosophy and philosophical Islamic studies”. It took place in Moscow at the end of 2011 and coincided with the publication of the 2nd issue of the “Ishrak” yearbook. The book includes modified texts of the reports. Unfortunately, not all participants were able to provide their reports for publication. This shortcoming is partly compensated by the conference materials, including audio records, available at http://iph.ras.ru/ishraqconf.htm.

This book of reports describes different traditions of Islamic studies. We are pleased to familiarize the reader with perception, assessment and examination of Islamic philosophy in modern Iran. The book includes articles on ishrakism philosophy written by two greatest Iranian scholars, experts in Suhrawardi’s works.

We hope that such conferences will be conducted regularly in future and that this book will be followed by many other similar publications.
