Best known for his masterpiece "Mantiq al-tayr", or "The Conference of Birds", his verse is still considered to be the finest example of Sufi love poetry in the Persian language after that of Rumi. Distinguished by their provocative and radical theology of love, many lines of 'Attar's epics and lyrics are cited independently of their poems as maxims in their own right. These pithy, paradoxical statements are still known by heart and sung by minstrels throughout Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and wherever Persian is spoken or understood, such as in the lands of the Indo-Pakistani Subcontinent. Designed to take its place alongside "The Ocean of the Soul", the classic study of 'Attar by Hellmut Ritter, this volume offers the most comprehensive survey of 'Attar's literary works to date, and situates his poetry and prose within the wider context of the Persian Sufi tradition. The essays in the volume are grouped in three sections, and feature contributions by sixteen scholars from North America, Europe and Iran, which illustrate, from a variety of critical prespectives, the full range of 'Attar's monumental achievement. They show how and why 'Attar's poetical work, as well as his mystical doctrines, came to wield such tremendous and formative influence over the whole of Persian Sufism."--Bloomsbury publishing. 606 $aSufism 606 $aIslam$2BIC 615 0$aSufism. 615 7$aIslam. 676 $a891.5511 702 $aLewisohn$b Leonard 702 $aShackle$b C. 712 02$aInstitute of Ismaili Studies. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795078703321 996 $aAt?t?a?r and the Persian Sufi tradition$93787465 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03953nam 2200733Ia 450 001 9910971584303321 005 20250109232038.0 010 $a9781350153561 010 $a1350153567 010 $a9781350153578 010 $a1350153575 010 $a9781350153585 010 $a1350153583 024 7 $a10.5040/9781350153585 035 $a(CKB)4910000000264036 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6384395 035 $a(OCoLC)1225552924 035 $a(UkLoBP)9781350153585 035 $a(PPN)260189456 035 $a(Perlego)2035611 035 $a(EXLCZ)994910000000264036 100 $a20160926d2020 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aChinese and Indian ways of thinking in early modern European philosophy $ethe reception and the exclusion /$fSelusi Ambrogio 210 1$aLondon :$cBloomsbury Publishing,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (241 pages) $cillustrations 311 08$a9781350191419 311 08$a1350191418 311 08$a9781350153554 311 08$a1350153559 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aChapter 1.

This is a study of what happened to the European understanding of China and India between the 17th century and the late 18th-century. In 1600 Otto van Heurn published Barbaricae philosophiae antiquitatum introducing, for the first time in a history of philosophy, Indian philosophical thought. But a century and a half later Jakob Brucker's De Philosophia Exotica rejected the methods of Asian philosophers outright. After Brucker, Chinese and Indian thinkers were excluded from the histories of philosophy, ignored and disparaged by Kantism and Hegelism. Investigating the description of these two Asian civilizations during a century and a half of histories of philosophy, this work accounts for the change of historiographical paradigms, from Neoplatonic philosophia perennis and Spinozistic atheism to German Eclecticism. Uncovering the reasons for inserting or excluding Chinese and Indian ways of thinking within the field of Philosophy in early modern times, it reveals the origin of the Eurocentric understanding of Philosophy as a Greek-European prerogative. By highlighting how this narrowing and exclusion of non-Western ways of thought was a result of ignorance and personal prejudice this work provides a new way of thinking about the place of Asian philosophical traditions in Western ways of thinking"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPhilosophy$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPhilosophy$zEurope$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPhilosophy, Chinese 606 $aPhilosophy, Indic 606 $aModern Philosophy (Sixteenth-Century to Eighteenth-Century) 606 $aAsian Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aIndian Philosophy 606 $aAsian History (History) 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy, Chinese. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Indic. 615 4$aModern Philosophy (Sixteenth-Century to Eighteenth-Century) 615 4$aAsian Philosophy 615 4$aPhilosophy 615 4$aIndian Philosophy 615 4$aAsian History (History) 676 $a181/.11 700 $aAmbrogio$b Selusi$01808767 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971584303321 996 $aChinese and Indian ways of thinking in early modern European philosophy$94359215 997 $aUNINA
