Al-Ishārāt wa-al-tanbīhāt

al-Ishārāt wa-al-tanbīhāt (Remarks and Admonitions) is widely regarded as one of the crowning achievements of the great philosopher and polymath Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna). Written towards the end of his life, this profound text represents the mature distillation of his philosophical system, covering logic, natural philosophy, and metaphysics, while concluding with deeply influential chapters on mysticism and the spiritual stations of the gnostics. This exceptional edition brings together Ibn Sīnā's original masterpiece with Lubāb al-ishārāt, a critical summary and commentary by the eminent Islamic theologian Fakhr al-Dīn Rāzī. Rāzī's engagement with the text highlights the dynamic intellectual debates of the medieval period, challenging and clarifying Avicennian thought. Meticulously edited by the distinguished scholar Maḥmūd Shahābī, the work features a comprehensive Persian introduction that contextualises the manuscript traditions, the historical reception of the text, and the philosophical nuances of both authors. Published by Dānishgāh-i Tihrān, this volume stands as an indispensable resource for scholars of Islamic philosophy, logic, and theology, offering unparalleled insight into the intellectual heritage of Īrān and the broader Islamic world.
