The book critiques the romanticized interpretations of medieval Islamic philosopher Suhrawardi's work, suggesting that contemporary philosophers have idealized it as a revival of "oriental" wisdom. The author, an expert in Suhrawardi's thought, delves into the nuances of his philosophy, challenging prevailing narratives and offering a more grounded understanding of his contributions to the intellectual landscape of the time.
