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.[1][2] The name was coined by Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Henry Corbin.[1]
Because of the attention of Shah Abbas during the Safavid Dynasty in Iran to intellectual tradition in Islam, Isfahan became a famous academic city and the intellectual center of Iran[citation needed] at the time, along with the cities of Rey and Shiraz.
