Was there a relationship between the Ishraqi tradition and Kalam? I tried to read up on Fakhr al-Din Razi's Illuminationist Discourses to see if it was intended to be an Ishraqi work but none of the secondary literature I read answered my question. I know Mulla Sadra was hostile towards Kalam, but I would like to know about the general mood between both sides. Did the Mutakalimun aim polemics at the Ishraqis like they did the Peripatetics?
Ishraq and Kalam
Hello Prof. Adamson,
Was there a relationship between the Ishraqi tradition and Kalam? I tried to read up on Fakhr al-Din Razi's Illuminationist Discourses to see if it was intended to be an Ishraqi work but none of the secondary literature I read answered my question. I know Mulla Sadra was hostile towards Kalam, but I would like to know about the general mood between both sides. Did the Mutakalimun aim polemics at the Ishraqis like they did the Peripatetics?
