Knowledge in Later Islamic Philosophy: Mulla Sadra on Existence, Intellect, and Intuition by Ibrahim Kalin

Ibrahim Kalin's book, Knowledge in Later Islamic Philosophy: Mulla Sadra on Existence, Intellect, and Intuition, provides a comprehensive analysis of the 17th-century Persian philosopher Mulla Sadra's theory of knowledge, focusing on how it is intrinsically linked to his ontology, particularly his doctrine of the primacy of existence. A key feature of the book is its detailed examination of how Mulla Sadra reconciles and synthesizes the three major strands of Islamic philosophical discourse: revelation (Qur'an), rational demonstration (burhan), and intuitive knowledge or gnosis ('irfan).
