			He is important for two reasons.

	[[category:terms]][[category:lightningpath]]		'''One''' because he is part of the tradition of [[Platonic Orientalism]].

			"Suhrawardi has been portrayed in various ways: as a reviver of the ancient wisdom of the Persians, as a reformer of the Avicennan Peripatetic philosophy, as a Sufi. He was all of those things, but I think he was first of all a Platonic philosopher, though one who used mysticism as a philosophical tool."<ref>Walbridge, John. The Wisdom of the Mystic East: Suhrawardi and Platonic Orientalism. New York: SUNY Press, 2001.p. x.</ref>

			'''Two''', because he felt mystical connection a critical component of philosophy.

			"For Suhrawardi true philosophy required mystical intuition, a kind of revelation, and the philosophers who employed mystical intuition often expressed themselves in symbols Those, like the Peripatetics, who confined themselves to rational speculation were limited in their ability to reach the truth, especially about higher things. It was the earlier philosophers who were the true exponents of the divine philosophy. The founder of philosophy was Hermes/Idris/Enoch, who is usually associated with Egypt."ref>Walbridge, John.
