Henry Corbin and Suhrawardi: Light, Vision, and the Reality of Being

Deskripsi

Henry Corbin and Suhrawardi: Light, Vision, and the Reality of Being by Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad offers a profound philosophical response to a modern crisis: in an age of abstraction, representation, and technological mediation, reality appears everywhere yet is rarely truly encountered.

The book reopens one of the most powerful yet overlooked traditions in global philosophy — the ontology of light. Drawing on the illuminationist philosophy of Suhrawardi and the visionary reinterpretation of Henry Corbin, it presents a radical rethinking of reality not as substance, but as presence, gradation, and self-disclosure.

At its heart lies a simple but transformative claim: being is not something hidden behind appearances — it is revealed through them. In tracing this vision of light, presence, and imaginal reality, the book restores a way of seeing in which the world once again becomes luminous with meaning.
