Editorial Reviews

Review

"In providing access to ... valuable sources [--a wide range of philosophical texts of Persia from pre-Islamic times to the modern age--], it fulfils a laudable endeavor . . . presents much new material to the reader . . . facilitate[s] teaching and understanding. A major contribution and once it is complete (in five or six projected volumes), it will no doubt transform the way in which we perceive and study philosophical traditions in Persia."--Sajjad H. Rizvi, Iranian Studies, Summer/Fall 2002
