The fifth and final volume of An Anthology of Philosophy in Persia deals with some seven centuries of Islamic thought stretching from the era following the Mongol invasion to the end of the Qajar period.

Suitable for both students and scholars of Persian philosophy, this title deals with one of the richest and yet least known periods of philosophical life in Persia, the centuries between the seventh/thirteenth century, that saw the eclipse of the school of Khorosan, and the tenth/sixteenth century that coincided with the rise of the Safavids.

The tradition of philosophy in the Persian-speaking world is rich, creative and diverse. Extending over a period of more than two millennia, and showcasing translations by scholars, this anthology offers bibliographical references throughout.
