Details

This book contains eight in depth conversations with Seyyed Hossein Nasr that probe the principles of his philosophy and its relevance to contemporary challenges. Each chapter turns the lens of Nasr’s philosophical outlook on a pressing issue facing Iranian society as it seeks cultural and intellectual self determination: the distinctive features of Iranian civilization, the interplay of Shiism and Sufism with national identity, a critique of modern scientific paradigms, the ecological crisis and the “death of nature”, the legacy of Henry Corbin, the role of tradition in sacred art, aesthetic expressions in Iranian spirituality, and the place of religion in the contemporary world. A concluding photo section offers a panoramic glimpse of the scholar’s life.
