The thematic scope of the issue is provided by the project’s focus on the so-called post-classical period in Islamic philosophy (falsafa, ḥikma, but also ishrāqī thought), theology (kalām), and philosophically oriented Sufism (taṣawwuf, ʿirfān). Like the project, the papers published here cover a broad period from the sixth/twelfth century, including views to the earlier, classical background, down to the thirteenth/eighteenth century. The philosophical focus is firmly on metaphysics, but the papers also raise crucial historical questions about the interrelations between authors. Taken as a whole, this collection of papers testifies to the genuine philosophical value of the various strands of post-classical thought, including the purveyors of Avicennian ḥikma, but also their critics among the theologians, ishrāqī authors, and theoretically inclined Sufis.
