In the history of thought, Shihab al-Din Suhrawardi is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Shihab al-Din Suhrawardi as Persian philosopher and founder of the school of Illuminationism.
Shihab al-Din Suhrawardi was born at Sohrevard in 1155. His recorded nationality is Iraq.
Thought in this period moved between the Islamic world, the Jewish communities and the Latin West, and the same texts were argued over in three traditions.
The recorded fields of work are islamic philosophy, sufism and peripatetic school.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from Iraq matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Shihab al-Din Suhrawardi died in 1191, aged 36. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
