Mulla Sadra is one of the most important Islamic philosophers
after Avicenna. In this exploration of his philosophy, Sajjad H.
Rizvi examines the central doctrine of the modulation of being, and
contextualises his work within the intellectual history of
philosophical traditions in the Islamic East.
Reading and critiquing the works of Mulla Sadra from an
analytical perspective, this book pays particular attention to his
text the Asfar, a work which, due to its complexity, is often
overlooked. Looking at the concept of philosophy as a way of life
and a therapeutic practice, this book explores the paradigm of the
modulation of being in the philosophical method and metaphysics of
Mulla Sadra and considers its different manifestations. Rizvi
relates his philosophy to larger trends and provides a review of
the field, charting and critiquing the discussion on the topic to
date and exploring recent thought in this direction, to show how
Sadrian thought was addressed well into the 19th and 20th
centuries.
This major contribution to the study of Mulla Sadra and the
intellectual life of the Safavid period fills an important gap in
the field of Sadra studies and Islamic philosophy, and is
indispensable to students of philosophy, religion and Islamic
studies, and Islamic philosophy in particular.
