Being and Consciousness
Being and Consciousness
A working command of the vocabulary of Islamic metaphysics — wujūd, māhiyya, the gradation of being — used precisely, not loosely.
The capacity to read primary texts of Ibn Sīnā and Mullā Ṣadrā with comprehension rather than reverence alone.
An understanding of why the tradition treats metaphysics as the science of realities — and what that claim asks of the knower.
Direct exchange with Professor Nasr in open Q&A after every session — the part no book can replace.
Seyyed Hossein Nasr is one of the most influential Muslim philosophers of the modern period. His writings on Islamic philosophy, Sufism, comparative religion, sacred knowledge, Islamic art, and the relationship between science and spirituality have shaped contemporary scholarship across numerous disciplines. The author of more than sixty books and hundreds of articles translated into many languages, Professor Nasr has played a pivotal role in the revival and global dissemination of the Islamic intellectual tradition. At Tokat, Professor Nasr guides students through the enduring questions of metaphysics, spirituality, and the nature of reality in Islamic thought.
