Summary
Through a critical review of the past terms within which the authentic and specific Suhravardi’s thought has been contextualized, the work on ishrāqī wisdom seeks to observe from a different angle, and show that ishrāqī wisdom can not be reduced to philosophy, but that it is a specific wisdom that is a combination of the ancient Iranian wisdom and Tasawwuf, notwithstanding that its hereditaries till Suhravardi were not Aristotle and the Islamic peripatetics, but gnostics like Dhūl-Nūn al-Miṣrī, Abu Sahl al-Tustari, Bayazid Bastami, Mansur al-Hallaj, and Ebu’l Hasan Harakani who all talked about sakinah. The heir to ishrāqī wisdom is a gnostic, in whose person the conjunction of speculative and intuitive wisdom is actualized.
