The Illuminationist School and the Case of Suhrawardī
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 May 2020
The fifth chapter offers an interpretive approach to Shihāb al-Dīn Suhrawardī’s account of causality. It also examines how he establishes freedom in the created order in accordance with his understanding of causality. It is argued that Suhrawardī’s writings suggest a participatory account of causality. The chapter first examines some salient aspects of Suhrawardī’s ontology that are relevant to our discussion. The second section rethinks the question of causality with respect to Suhrawardī’s ontology. The third section discusses the question of freedom and the responsibility of moral agents in relation to Suhrawardī’s theory of causality.
