Abstract

The trichotomy of the cosmos into dominion, heaven and omnipotence corresponds to the three partite nature of human understanding including sensation, imagination and intelligence. Accordingly, the senses are the gates through which man recognizes the material world, his imagination is the traveller on the road to heavens and his intelligence is the seeker of the dominant lights.Shahab Addin Suhrawardi, titled as the ‘Master of Illumination’, focused his endeavours on the IMAGES IN SUSPENSE as the detached imagination, and in this direction he considered himself as the heir of the Iranian sages and the Greek wises. The world of IMAGES IN SUSPENSE, which is different from the world of Platonic archetypes, is created by equivalent intellects. It is a vast world derived from illuminated archetypes which contains an instance of each creature in the material world.From this theosophist perspective, the IMAGINAL FORMS are not derived from the human soul or mind power, rather they belong to a different world. Their relationship with the human mind is not like the relationship between an act and its agent or a recipient and perceptions, it is rather a relationship between the apparent and the epiphany. The imagianl forms are the heavenly inhabitants of the world of ideas emerging temporarily in human imagination. He had the same view of the speculum forms.The present paper is an attempt to explore this heavenly realm through the imaginary cognition and explain its features. For this purpose, Suhrawardi’s illuminationist philosophy will be regarded as the source of cognition.
