Reviews

This volume delivers what the editors promise at the outset: to introduce new texts into the modern canon of Islamic and Iranian philosophy (p. ix). It puts together scholarly editions of many texts which have not been available to Western readers, along with highly engaging introductions, helpful notes, and detailed bibliographies. For this, the editors and contributors deserve our gratitude. - Rasoul Namazi in Iranian Studies (2020)
