Henry Corbin, a philosopher and professor of Islamic studies, was profoundly shaped by the mystical Platonism of Persian philosophers, particularly Suhrawardi. His work bridges ancient Greek thought with the prophetic traditions of the Near East, revealing a spiritual connection between these cultures and illuminating a path he sought. Corbin fundamentally reshaped the study of Islamic philosophy, demonstrating that philosophical activity in the Muslim world, especially in Iran, persisted beyond Ibn Rushd and continues to the present day. His approach offers readers profound spiritual and philosophical insights.
