The Development of Metaphysics in Persia is a book written by Muhammad Iqbal, a renowned philosopher, poet, and politician from Pakistan. The book is a contribution to the history of Muslim philosophy and focuses on the development of metaphysics in Persia (modern-day Iran) from the 9th to the 11th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the major philosophical movements and thinkers of this era, including the Aristotelian and Neoplatonic schools of thought, as well as the works of Avicenna (Ibn Sina) and Suhrawardi. Iqbal's approach to the history of philosophy is unique in that he seeks to understand the philosophical ideas of the past in their own terms, rather than imposing modern Western philosophical categories onto them. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context in which these ideas emerged. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of Islamic philosophy and has been influential in shaping contemporary scholarship on the subject. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, Islamic thought, or Persian culture.1908.
