THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIGHT: HERMENEUTIC INTERPRETATION INFORMATION ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Abstract

The article entitled “The Philosophy of Light: Hermeneutic Interpretation and the Irfanic School of the ‘Absolute Light’ in the History of Human Thought” is a philosophical-hermeneutical inquiry into the concept of "absolute light" as the ontological and spiritual foundation of being, understanding, and ethics. Drawing on methods from philosophy Ibn Sina, Suhrawardi, Ibn Arabi, hermeneutics of understanding Gadamer, Heidegger, and contemporary philosophy of language Wittgenstein, the study frames light as a unifying symbol and medium for epistemology, morality, and existence.

Absolute light is presented not merely as a divine attribute, but as the precondition of meaning, conscience, and presence. Employing the notions of light ontology, hermeneutics of meaning, and light-based ethics, the article traces the evolution of light across classical metaphysics, mystical insight, aesthetics, and even the philosophical implications of artificial intelligence. Understanding, in this framework, emerges only within a luminous space shaped by inner experience and tradition.

The research concludes that absolute light, with its metaphysical, cognitive, and moral dimensions, can serve as a unifying model for integrating science, ethics, and culture in the digital age. Light is not a mere metaphor here, but the very substance of meaning and being.
