Abu Sulayman Sijistani
Abu Sulayman Muhammad Sijistani, (
.Deeply religious, he regarded both religion and philosophy as valid and true, but separate, concerned with different issues, and proceeding by different means. He thus rejected the claims of the theologians employing
Ilm al-Kalam as having built a theology "proved" by rationality and of the Brethren of Purity
as offering a synthesis of philosophy and religion.
His best-known work is Siwān al-Ḥikma "Vessel of Wisdom", a history of philosophy from the beginning to his own time.
