Abstract
Theories of art developed by philosophers of the Islamic era were in large measure unknown when I began my work. This was especially true of philosophers like al-Fārābī, who was unknown as a philosopher of art even in the context in which he is located, Persia. This has changed today. My own work, I hope, has contributed to that change. In this essay, I’ll focus on my journey through art and philosophy and relate it to my theoretical work.
