A5. Episodes 171 - 195: Eastern Traditions

This series brings to an end our look at philosophy in the Islamic world, beginning with influential thinkers of the twelfth century like Fakhr al-Din al-Razi and Suhrawardi, focusing on their legacy in the Eastern realms of central Asia and Persia, moving on to the Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires, and ending with developments in twentieth century philosophy. These centuries are often dismissed as a time of intellectual and scientific decline in Islamic civilization, but it was in fact a time of remarkable achievement in fields like logic and astronomy as well as the various disciplines of philosophy. Throughout, Avicenna looms over the tradition, or rather traditions, with the so-called "Peripatetic" or Avicennan style of thought interacting with Sufism, Islamic theology (kalam) and Illuminationism, as made clear in the synthesis of the Safavid philosopher Mulla ?adra. Interviews with Mohammed Rustom, Rob Wisnovsky, Sajjad Rizvi and Anke von Kügelgen.

Peter would like to thank a number of scholars for their invaluable input on this under-studied period of philosophy, including Jan-Peter Hartung, Christof Neumann, Reza Pourjavady, Mohammed Rustom, Sajjad Rizvi, and Riccardo Strobino.
