In Suhrawardī’s Illuminationism, Jari Kaukua offers a new interpretation of Shihāb al-Dīn al-Suhrawardī’s (d. 1191 CE) illuminationist ( ishrāqī ) philosophy. Commonly portrayed as a philosophically inclined mystic, Suhrawardī appears here as a perspicacious critic of Avicenna who developed his critique into an alternative philosophical system. Focusing on metaphysics and theory of science, Kaukua argues that Suhrawardī’s illuminationist philosophy combines rigorous metaphysical monism with a modest but positive assessment of scientific explanation. This philosophical core of Suhrawardī’s illuminationism is reconcilable with but independent of the mystical side of the shaykh al-ishrāq.

Voici, sans conteste, un des monuments de la philosophie en terre d'islam : le chef-d'œuvre de Sohravardî, mort à Alep, à l'âge de trente-six ans, victime de l'intolérance, en 587/1191. Il exprime une expérience extatique de Dieu, " Lumière des Lumières ", dévoile dans l'univers sensible les multiples miroirs des intelligences et des Âmes. Il ressuscite la sagesse de l'Iran zoroastrien et, fidèle au platonisme, fonde en métaphysique le sentiment gnostique de la vie : la Ténèbre, les substances qui " portent en elles nuit et mort " s'opposent aux Lumières angéliques. Cette philosophie dramatique de l'existence s'achève en un magnifique chant de l'âme, en l'une des plus puissantes théories de la béatitude. Le lecteur trouvera ici, en outre, les deux commentaires qu'en ont fait Qotboddîn Shîrâzî (VIIe/XIIIe s.) et Mollâ Sadrâ Shîrâzî (XIe/XVlle s.), lui-même le plus grand philosophe du shî'isme iranien.
