In this book, a series of interviews offers an accessible,
revealing, human and intellectual biography of leading Islamic
scholar Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr is one of the
preeminent philosophers writing today. Sure to be a key resource
for decades to come, In Search of the Sacred: A Conversation with
Seyyed Hossein Nasr on His Life and Thought illuminates Nasr's
experiences and shares his insights on topics from religion and
philosophy to science and the arts. Based on a series of
interviews, the book combines traditional autobiography with an
exploration of the intellectual and spiritual trajectories of the
author's thought during key periods of his life. In doing so, it
presents a fascinating panorama, not only of the life and ideas of
one man, but also of major events ranging from intellectual life in
Iran during the Pahlavi period and the Iranian Revolution to some
of the major religious and intellectual debates between Islam and
modernism. Nasr writes that his "whole life has been a quest for
the sacred." This work connects that quest with some of the most
important issues of the day in encounters between Islam and the
West.
