Preview: the Eastern Traditions
Starting with episode 171 I will be reaching the third big mini-series on philosophy in the Islamic world: the Eastern Traditions. This wil take the story all the way up to the 20th c., after which I'll circle back to the start of Latin medieval thought in the Carolingian period. Below you can see my current plan for episode topics, which is subject to revision but it should be more or less right (a number of them are already written).
The Later Eastern Traditions (Introduction)
Abu al-Barakat al-Baghdadi
Fakhr al-Din al-Razi
Suhrawardi
Illuminationism
Nasir al-Din al-Tusi
Debating Avicenna’s Metaphysics
al-Rumi and Philosophical Sufism
The Logical Tradition
Philosophy in the Mongol Age
Ibn Taymiyya
Philosophy at Shiraz
Philosophy in the Ottoman Empire
Philosophy in the Safavid Empire
Mulla Sadra
Philosophy in the Mughal Empire
Modern Thinkers (a very selective look at the 20th c.)
…and maybe an episode in here somewhere on women and Islam, though female philosophers in Islamic realms before the 20th c. seem to be extremely hard to find! If anyone has suggestions on this topic that would be most welcome.

Yes actually - I'll be making
Yes actually - I'll be making an announcement about plans to cover Indian philosophy later this spring once I have a better idea when it will happen. Not sure yet about whether I will ever tackle China.

great podcast. looking
great podcast. looking forward to the indian section, but the size of it may be what prevents your boat from getting to china [i hope you get there and reach mao, who must be included]
About Women & Islam: All I
About Women & Islam: All I can think of for the specific category you want (pre-20th century Muslim women philosophers) are Nana Asma'u of the Sokoto Caliphate, and Rabia Basri. I don't know if you can make an entire episode on that topic, but there might be more of these philosophers to talk about.

Awesome! Thanks so much for
Awesome! Thanks so much for the great podcast, Professor Adamson!
Do you have any plans to cover philosophy outside of Europe and the Middle East? I've learned a whole lot about philosophers who I'd barely even heard of with you Islamic world podcasts, and it would be fascinating to hear about India or China.
Either way, thanks a million for your time and effort.
