The Volume brings together scholars from Azerbaijan, Egypt, Germany, India, Iran, Iraq, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey to approach the new field of Eco-Imagination from various philosophical and disciplinary backgrounds. Sufism and its Micro-Macro philosophy in Ikhwan al-Safa, Ibn Arabi, Suhrawardy, Nishabouri, and Mulla Sadra are in dialogue with the Logos of Life Philosophy founded by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka (1923 - 2014). This book provides a multi-perspective insight into the understanding of Life in Islamic Philosophies.
Philosophers, mystics, and poets from a variety of Islamic countries, schools, and worldviews are introduced and debated. Sustainable futures evolved in harmony with everything there is alive (Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka), are currently more threatened than ever. Wars, ecological destructivity, the climate crisis, and not least the crisis of the Human Being call urgently for a cross-religious, cultural, and generational understanding. Lively debates in Islam, taking place on philosophical problems for hundreds of years, often based on the same roots as in Occidental Phenomenology, e.g., Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus, are still too little known in the Occident/West. The prolific and poetic arguments, introduced for the first time in an eco-imaginative horizon, do not belong to the past. This volume invites students and researchers to uncover Islamic Philosophies' potentialities for a shared sustainable future.
