This edited volume offers new insights into the philosophical milieu of late Safavid Iran (1062-1148/1652-1736). Moving beyond the celebrated figures of Mir Damad (d. 1041/1631) and Mulla adra (d. 1045/1636), it explores the often-overlooked thinkers and ideas that sustained philosophical inquiry in the later Safavid period. The chapters provide detailed studies of the lives, works, and doctrines of eight major philosophers, revealing the richness and diversity of late Safavid thought. The introduction situates these contributions within their broader intellectual context, tracing the themes and developments that shaped the era's philosophical discourse. Contributors: Nariman Aavani, Wahid M. Amin, Hanif Amin-Beidokhti, Cécile Bonmariage, Khaled El-Rouayheb, Mansooreh Khalilizand, Reza Pourjavady and Mathieu Terrier.
