The Principles of Epistemology in Islamic Philosophy: Knowledge by Presence
Mehdi Haʼiri Yazdi, Seyyed Hossein Nasr
This book aims to present to western philosophers the most important theme in Islamic epistemology; knowledge by presence, the knowledge that results from immediate and intuitive awareness, advocated by the author as a viable modern philosophical position. Treating the subject in a thoroughly philosophical manner that is comprehensible to contemporary analytical philosophers, he remains faithful to the Islamic tradition.
