Epistemologi Ilmu Dalam Perspektif Filsafat Isyraqi (Suhrawardi al-Maqtul)

Epistemologically, Islamic thought was born as a reaction or alternative to the weaknesses that occurred in previous philosophy, especially Aristotelian paripathetics. There are two main teachings in Isyraqi philosophy, namely gradations of essence and self-awareness. From these two teachings, a third teaching or theory was born, namely the Mythical Realm.
