Illuminationist philosophy
A longstanding school of Iranian philosophy, the Illuminationist Philosophy or hekmah-al-eshraq (Arabic حكمة الإشراق, Persian حكمت اشراق) was first developed by Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi, the famous Persian philosopher.
This school is a combination of Ibn Sina’s early Islamic philosophy and ancient Iranian philosophical disciplines, dressed up with many new innovative ideas of Suhrawardi. It is often described as having been influenced by Neoplatonism.
