Twelfth-century Islamic philosopher Suhraward attempted to revive Platonism in an era of Avicennan Aristotelianism. Modern scholars have portrayed Suhraward as wishing to revive an "oriental" wisdom and associate him with ancient Persia. In this book, John Walbridge uses Suhraward as a vehicle to explore the tendency of Platonic philosophers to romanticize oriental wisdom.
The work presents Suhraward and defines the problem of Platonic orientalism, both in general and in relation to Suhraward. Egypt and the Hermetic tradition, ancient Persia and the notion of metaphysical light, and India, Buddhism, and the transmigration of souls are all covered in terms of their influence or lack of influence in Suhraward's thought. The book also explores the role of Platonic and Suhrawardian orientalism in various cultures over the years.
