Question

The central concept of this school of philosophy is defined as “that which is manifest in itself and manifests others.” John Walbridge criticized Henry Corbin for calling this school a “theosophy” in his translation of its core text. This school posited a “world of images” in which souls reside before transmigrating. As leader of a Zoroastrian offshoot of this school, (15[1])Azar Kayvan composed a set of Ordinances in an invented “heavenly language.” The founder of this school of thought had a “dream-vision” in which Aristotle gave him the doctrine of knowledge by (*) presence. Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi (10[1])wrote a commentary on this school, (10[1])which began as a critique of Avicenna’s (10[1])Peripateticism. The founder of this school was executed in Aleppo by Saladin’s son. Mulla Sadra was a “master” of this school founded by (10[1])Suhrawardi. For 10 points, what Persian school of thought (-5[1])called God the “Light of Lights?” ■END■ (10[1]0[13])
