Seyyed Hossein Nasr ( born April 7 1933) is an Iranian philosopher theologian and Islamic scholar. He is University Professor of Islamic studies at George Washington University. Nasr's works offer a critique of modern worldviews as well as a defense of Islamic and perennialist doctrines and principles. Central to his argument is the claim that knowledge has become desacralized in the modern period meaning that it has become severed from its divine source - God or the Ultimate Reality - which calls for its resacralization through the utilization of sacred traditions and sacred science. Although Islam and Sufism are major influences on his writings his perennialist approach inquires into the essence of all orthodox religions regardless of their formal particularities. He is considered a key thinker on the environment particularly in terms of Islamic environmentalism and resacralization of nature. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 232 pages. pages .
