Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - He was driven out of his city for thinking too deeply. What he found in exile became one of the most extraordinary philosophical achievements in human history.In the early 1600s, Sadr al-Din Muhammad Shirazi - known as Mulla Sadra - was the most brilliant young philosopher in Safavid Iran. He had mastered every tradition available to him: the Peripatetic logic of Ibn Sina, the mystical metaphysics of Ibn 'Arabi, the visionary theosophy of Suhrawardi. Then the accusations of heresy came. His patrons withdrew. The scholarly world he loved turned cold. He was sent into exile in a tiny desert village called Kahak, far from his libraries and colleagues, stripped of everything that had made his life legible.He would spend the next decade there in near-total silence.What emerged from that silence was the Transcendent Wisdom - a philosophy so original that it is still transforming how scholars understand existence, the soul, and the nature of reality. Sadra argued that existence itself was primary - not a concept we add to things, but the one overwhelming actuality from which all beings flow. That the soul was not a fixed essence but a living motion, always becoming more of what it was. That suffering was not punishment but the particular form that preparation sometimes takes.The Illuminated Exile tells the full story of Sadra's remarkable life - his extraordinary education in Isfahan, the controversy that exiled him, the desert years that transformed him, his triumphant return to Shiraz, his seven pilgrimages to Mecca, and the 40-plus books he left behind. Written in vivid literary nonfiction prose, it brings the greatest Islamic philosopher of the modern era alive for the general reader and offers his deepest insight as a living gift: your exile was not the end. It was the beginning.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In January 1154, a Muslim scholar handed a Christian king a map of the world, and left part of it deliberately blank.You were taught somewhere along the way that not knowing is something to cover. That a gap in what you understand is a verdict on you. That when someone asks and you are not sure, the safe move is to sound certain anyway.This is the story of a man who spent his life doing the opposite, and made something extraordinary out of it. Muhammad al-Idrisi was born in Ceuta around 1100 into a family that had once claimed a caliphate and by then owned a house. He studied in Cordoba, walked the roads of three continents, and at nearly forty accepted an invitation from Roger II of Sicily, a Norman king who had grown up speaking Arabic because the men who ran his island did. For sixteen years the two of them sat down together most mornings and assembled the world out of other people's testimony, by one hard rule: where the reports agreed, they kept them; where the reports differed, they threw them out. What survived that rule became the most accurate map anyone would make for three hundred years.This is narrative history, told as a story rather than a survey, and it is honest about what the record can and cannot supply.- Learn a working method for telling a true account from a merely confident one, and start using it on everything you read- Find the exact place where careful people stop being careful, and learn to catch yourself standing in it- See why a map that admitted where it stopped outlived every map that pretended to be complete- Watch a friendship that every ideology of its century called impossible hold for sixteen years and produce something neither man could have made alone- Come away able to say the three words you have been avoiding, and mean them as a strengthThis is a book for anyone who has ever been asked a question they could not honestly answer, and felt the pull to answer anyway.The silver was melted within a decade. The rule the two of them wrote is still the only one that works.Open to the first page. The rest is still out there.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - He explained the rainbow. He was twenty-two when Baghdad burned. He kept going anyway.In the winter of 1258, the Mongol armies of Hulagu Khan took Baghdad apart in thirteen days. The caliphate that had organised Muslim civilisation for five hundred years stopped existing. The libraries went into the Tigris. Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi was twenty-two years old, working as an eye doctor in Shiraz, and every institution that gave his work meaning vanished inside a fortnight.He went back to the hospital the next morning and kept looking, very carefully, at damaged eyes.Over the next fifty-three years he became one of the most remarkable minds of the medieval world - and the first human being in history to correctly explain how a rainbow forms. Light bends as it enters a raindrop. It reflects off the inner wall. It bends again on the way out, and the colours come apart, and red leaves at forty-two degrees and has never once left at forty-three.He worked that out with glass spheres full of water, held up to the sun, day after day, in a country under occupation.Where Light Breaks follows him from a childhood house in Kazerun that smelled of camphor and incense, to a freezing observatory on a mountain in Azerbaijan, to a room in Konya where a Persian poet played the same small fiddle he did, to a courtroom on a violent frontier, to a failed embassy in Cairo, to a desk in Tabriz where an old man tried to fit the entire world into one book.Written as narrative history - scenes, conversations, people in rooms - with no prior knowledge of Islamic science or medieval philosophy required.- Watch a boy of fourteen take his dead father's post and put a needle into a human eye- Stand in the observatory the night the mathematics of the heavens finally gives way- Sit with the man who chose to spend the worst century of his people's history explaining something beautiful- Understand exactly what happens inside a raindrop, and why it has never happened differently- Find out why the story you were told about the scientific revolution is missing several centuriesThis is a book for anyone who has tried to do careful work while the ground was moving under them.He was right, he was forgotten, and the sky has been proving him correct every rainstorm for seven hundred years.Open it. The rest will find you.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What does it cost to follow an honest thought all the way to the end In 1280, a Jewish physician in Baghdad finished a book. He had examined Judaism, Christianity and Islam by a single standard, refusing to exempt his own faith, and somewhere near the end he had written one sentence that could destroy him. He looked at it by a lamp that was burning down. He could have struck it out. Nobody would ever have known there had been anything to strike.He left it standing.For four years, nothing happened. The book sat in a handful of houses, ignored. He went on seeing patients, buying paper, lighting the lamps on Friday evenings, growing old.Then a preacher read that sentence aloud from a pulpit, and by that evening a crowd was outside his door calling for him to be burned.His name was Ibn Kammuna. He was sixty-nine years old, and what happened next has almost never been told correctly.Carried in Darkness is his recovered life - from the Jewish quarter of the greatest city on earth, through the Mongol catastrophe that destroyed it, to a leather-covered box on a night road and the four people whose names history did not bother to write down.- Watch a physician's discipline become a philosophical method, and then a death sentence- Understand the argument about the self that let a man lose everything and remain- Discover the governor who faced a mob and saved him with a lie- See why a book can sit harmless for four years and detonate in an afternoonThis is a book for anyone who has ever swallowed an honest thought because they feared the room.The crowd is forgotten. Every one of them. The sentence is still here.Open the first page.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - He discovered that light was not a metaphor. He was killed for saying so.In 1191 CE, a young Persian philosopher named Suhrawardi was executed in a citadel in Aleppo on the orders of Saladin. He was thirty-six years old. His crime, according to the jurists who petitioned for his death, was corrupting the minds of the young-particularly the mind of a prince who had come to love him. His real crime was something older and more dangerous: he had seen something, and he insisted on saying what he had seen.The Murdered Master tells the story of Shihab al-Din Yahya al-Suhrawardi, founder of the Ishraqiyya-the Philosophy of Illumination-and one of the most original minds in the history of human thought. It is a book about a philosopher who died too young and a philosophy that refused to die with him.Suhrawardi's central claim was that light is not a symbol for truth but its substance. That the hierarchy of existence is a hierarchy of luminosity. That the human soul, properly prepared, can encounter its own deepest nature not through argument but through direct vision-what he called al-ilm al-huduri, knowledge by presence. He drew on Plato and Aristotle, on Zoroastrian cosmology and Islamic theology, on the ancient Persian concept of xvarnah-divine radiance-and wove them into a system of dazzling coherence.He also dreamed of Aristotle, who appeared to him shining, and told him that all the Peripatetics had missed the essential thing.This is a book about that dream, and what it cost him to follow it.Following Suhrawardi from the village of Suhraward in northwestern Iran through the madrasahs of Maragha and Isfahan, through his wandering years in Anatolia and Syria, to his final months in Aleppo where a prince protected him until he could not, The Murdered Master reconstructs not just a life but a way of seeing. It takes seriously what Suhrawardi took seriously: that the light is real, that it can be known, that the preparation required to know it is both rigorous and available, and that the philosophers and theologians who insisted on keeping that knowledge locked behind institutional barriers had reasons for doing so that were not entirely philosophical.Seven centuries after his execution, a French scholar named Henry Corbin arrived in Tehran, encountered the manuscripts that had preserved the Ishraqiyya through the Persian philosophical tradition, and recognized-with the shock of a homecoming-that Suhrawardi had been asking questions that Western philosophy was still failing to ask. The Murdered Master traces that recognition and its implications: for the philosophy of consciousness, for the study of spiritual experience, for anyone who has ever wondered whether the light they sometimes sense at the edge of ordinary awareness is real or imagined.It is real, Suhrawardi said. And then he died for saying it.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What if you were named for love before you had done anything to earn it Before Sultan Bahu could speak, his mother had already given him a name that was not a plan for his life but a claim on it. Ba Hu. With Him. She had been told it in a vision, three nights running, and she never once let the world talk her out of it.This is the story of what that boy did with a name like that. It is a narrative biography of the seventeenth-century Punjabi saint and poet whose verses are still sung at wells and looms three and a half centuries later, told as a life rather than a doctrine: a soldier's son who quietly refused to pretend at killing, even in play. A young man who wept alone against a shrine wall, certain his whole search had been vanity, and kept walking anyway. A son who set down his father's sword without ever setting down his father's love. An old man who wept at a disciple's grief rather than rushing him past it, and who spent his last strength answering a neighbour's question about irrigation.- Feel what it is to be claimed by love before you have earned a thing- Sit with a father and a son learning to release each other without letting go- Watch a man refuse land, title and imperial favour without once raising his voice- Find the single breath-word that carried a province's grief for three centuries- Recognise, somewhere around the middle of his life, the shape of your ownThis is a book for anyone who has ever suspected they had to deserve the love that named them.You have been saying the word since your first breath. You will say it with your last.Open the first page. The rest will find you.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - He is the most consequential mathematician most people have never heard of.You use two of his words every day. One of them is algebra. The other is algorithm. Both come from one man, working in a library in ninth-century Baghdad, and his name has dissolved so completely into them that almost nobody who says either word knows there was ever a person there at all.Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was given a narrow brief by a caliph around the year 820: write something practical about calculation, for the people who actually need it. He took it seriously. The short book he produced was written for judges settling estates, merchants dividing profits, and surveyors measuring land - and it did something no book had done before. It set out, completely and in plain language, how to find a quantity you do not yet know.We know almost nothing about the man. No portrait. No letters. Not even an agreed birthplace: one early source puts his family two thousand miles from Baghdad, another puts them in a suburb, and a third gives him a religion his own writing contradicts. What survives is the work, a bookseller's catalogue compiled a century after his death, and a single manuscript in Strasbourg.This book tells that story honestly, including the parts that are usually smoothed over. It says where the record is thin. It takes apart the famous legend about the House of Wisdom and the river running black with ink, and explains why the true version is better. It flags the scenes that are reconstructed, on the page, where you can see them.- Follow the twelve-hundred-year chain from a Baghdad courtroom to the phone in your pocket- Understand what algebra actually is, and why nobody had written it down before- Meet the translators who carried it into Europe, and see what they left behind- Learn why a ninth-century procedure met a standard of transparency most modern systems do not- Recognize the move at the center of it all, and find you have been making it your whole lifeThis is a book for anyone who has ever stood in front of something tangled and needed to believe it had a shape.The unknown is not a wall. Name it, and the work can begin.Open the first page. The rest will find you.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What if the thing about you that nobody has ever remarked on is the only thing that was ever going to matter You know the feeling of being sorted before you are seen. Of being priced by people who never looked closely, and of carrying that number around for years afterwards without once checking whether it was right.A thousand years ago a boy was taken out of a mountain valley in Georgia by men who did not write down his name. He was walked east for months and sold in a market in Ghazni to a steward filling gaps in a household. He was nine, perhaps ten. Under the law he lived by, he was property.Thirty years later the most powerful man between Baghdad and the Ganges gave him a province.This is the whole true story of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni and Malik Ayaz. It is a narrative history, grounded in the documented record and honest about exactly where legend takes over, and it does not flinch in either direction: this is the man who crowned a slave and the man who broke the temple at Somnath, and both of those happened in the same decade, by the same hand.- Sit with a contradiction the sources refuse to resolve, and find in it permission to stop demanding a clean verdict on your own complicated life- Feel what it is to be looked at all the way down by somebody who had every reason not to bother- Understand why the world does not reliably reward what people are worth, and what that means for what you do next- Watch an empire built by force collapse within ten years while one act of recognition outlasts it by a thousand- Follow the story past the point where every other account of it stops, into the eleven years nobody writes aboutThis is a book for anyone who has ever been quietly excellent where no one was watching, and wondered whether it counted.The steadiest thing you do is the thing nobody has thought to mention.Open the first page.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Somewhere in your life there is a question you were taught to put down.You asked it once, and watched the faces around you change. You learned it was the kind of question that makes a person difficult. So you set it aside, and you have been walking around it ever since, half afraid that picking it up again would mean betraying your faith, your family, or the people you love.Twelve centuries ago, in the bead market of Basra, a boy named Ibrahim began picking up the questions everyone else had put down. He grew up to be al-Nazzam, the Stringer: a devout Muslim theologian who argued that God, being good, has no power to be cruel; that fire hides inside wood; that the agreement of a thousand men proves nothing; and that the doubter is closer to you than the denier. He sat with dualists and Christian physicians, argued with his own uncle for half a century, was answered, the commentators say, by the great wine poet of Baghdad in one of the most famous poems in Arabic, and was cursed for a thousand years by men who kept his words alive only to refute them. Almost nothing he wrote survives. His enemies kept the rest.This is a narrative biography, told the way a storyteller tells it by lamplight, of one of the boldest minds of the Islamic golden age and of the cities of argument that made him. It does not turn him into a modern skeptic in a turban; he questioned because he believed. It does not hide his sharp words, the reports of his drinking, or the movement that, at the height of its power, used the caliph's whip. Where the record is solid, the book says so. Where a scene is imagined, it tells you. Where the sources disagree, you get both versions and the name of every teller.- Discover how an honest question can be an act of faith rather than a betrayal of it- Learn to hold praise and blame in the same hand without letting either cancel the other- Walk the canals of Basra and the lamplit salons of Abbasid Baghdad, where the price of a camel and the justice of God were argued in the same afternoon- Weigh two accounts of one man's death, a drunken fall and a whispered prayer, and decide for yourself- See how a man's enemies, by hating him, kept his voice from disappearingThis is a book for anyone who was ever told to stop asking, and quietly kept the question.The question you put down was never a betrayal of what you love.Open the first page, and pick it back up.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The quiet years are the ones that matter. In a darkened room in medieval Persia, a mathematician placed a glass sphere in a beam of sunlight - and solved one of nature's most beautiful mysteries. Then the world forgot him for seven hundred years. His name was Kamal al-Din al-Farisi. His achievement was the first correct explanation of the rainbow: a complete geometric and experimental account of why those colors appear in that order, at that angle, in every sky over every country that has ever seen rain. He worked it out in the late thirteenth century in Tabriz, using a method of painstaking mathematical analysis and experiment that would not be called 'the scientific method' until centuries later - because his work was never translated, and European science never knew it existed. The Man Who Caught the Rainbow tells the story of al-Farisi's life, his work, and the extraordinary question he refused to leave unanswered. It is the story of a man who spent years in a darkened room with a glass sphere and a beam of light, building toward an understanding that would outlast the empire he lived under, the language he wrote in, and the tradition that preserved his name. It is also a story about something larger: what it means to do work the world does not see. To ask one question seriously enough that it becomes a life. To discover something true, write it down carefully, and trust that the truth will outlast the silence.>Follow a scientific detective story across seven centuries: the discovery, the forgetting, and the modern recovery of al-Farisi's achievement Explore the vibrant intellectual world of thirteenth-century Tabriz - one of the medieval world's most cosmopolitan cities - and the Ilkhanate patronage network that made al-Farisi's work possible Understand the physics of the rainbow in the most human and accessible terms ever written - no equations, only clarity Find in al-Farisi's story a quiet answer to the question we all ask: do the years we pour into something that goes unnoticed actually matter They do. The Man Who Caught the Rainbow is the evidence. The rainbow is still there, every time it rains. So is he.…
