School of Isfahan

The Isfahan School (Persian: مكتب اصفهان) is a school of Islamic philosophy. It was founded by Mir Damad and reached its fullest development in the work of Mulla Sadra. The name was coined by Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Henry Corbin.

During the Safavid era in Iran, Shah Abbas' attention to intellectual traditions in Islam made Isfahan into a famous academic city and Iran's intellectual center at the time, along with the cities of Ray and Shiraz.
