The Light Beyond Reality
From Suhrawardi's Philosophy of Light to the Mysteries of Quantum PhysicsBy Dr. Sam IraniRecorded TrackLength1h 39m
About this audiobook
What if reality is far stranger than what we can see?
What happens when a 12th-century Persian philosophy of light meets the mysteries of quantum physics?
The Light Beyond Reality takes you on a fascinating journey from Suhrawardi’s Illuminationist philosophy to the strange world of photons, waves, observers, and quantum entanglement.
You’ll discover:
How Suhrawardi’s philosophy understood reality through layers of light and consciousness
Why quantum physics challenges our everyday ideas about what is real
What wave-particle duality, the observer effect, and entanglement reveal—and what they don’t prove
How two radically different traditions can raise surprisingly similar questions about knowledge, perception, and realityWritten for curious minds with no background in physics or Islamic philosophy, this book brings philosophy, science, and personal reflection together in an accessible and thought-provoking exploration.
Perhaps the most fascinating question isn’t what reality is—but how we come to know it.
