Description: Listen to this episode here: reflections.lnk.to/DrSHNasr Listen to other episodes here: sy.lnk.to/Reflections Watch the ‘Reflections’ Podcast Playlist on Youtube: reflections.lnk.to/YoutubePlaylist It’s a true honor to have Seyyed Hossein Nasr as my guest on ‘Reflections’. Dr. Nasr is one of the most influential Muslim scholars in the world. He is a rare polymath, whose vast body of work covers the most important areas of contemporary thought from classical philosophy, sacred art, Islamic science, Sufism, and critique of modernity to interfaith relations and the environment. In this interview he discusses the significance of the current pandemic, the roots and implications of the ecological crisis, and the need for sacred and traditional music in our world. An eloquent lecturer and author of over 60 books and several hundred articles that have been translated into all major languages, Dr. Nasr is currently University Professor of Islamic Studies at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. The quest for knowledge that — to quote him — “liberates and delivers from the fetters and limitations of earthly existence” — continues to be the central concern of Dr. Nasr’s intellectual life. — Watch ‘Coronaspection’, Seyyed Hossein Nasr interviewed by Rabbi Alon Goshen Gottstein, Elijah Interfaith Institute here: youtube.com/watch?v=4Y0n6ECdC_w&t=3s Read ‘A Brief Spiritual Reflection on the Current Pandemic’ by Seyyed Hossein Nasr here: sacredweb.com/online_articles/sw45_pandemic_nasr.pdf Man and Nature: The Spiritual Crisis in Modern Man by Seyyed Hossein Nasr: amazon.com/Man-Nature-Spiritual-Crisis-Modern/dp/1871031656 Al-Ghazzali On Listening to Music amazon.com/Al-Ghazzali-Listening-Music-Great-Islamic/dp/1567446906 _________________ About ‘Reflections’: 'Reflections' is a search for meaning and understanding through a series of dialogues between Sami Yusuf and some of the most remarkable minds today as they explore the ideas and values that are shaping our world.
