Suhrawardi's logic in the wisdom of illumination has three main components: the theory of definition, the logic of justifications, and the doctrine of fallacies. After criticizing the Masha'i theory of definition, Sohrvardi deals with the design of the Ishraghi theory of definition. In this book, it is shown that both those criticisms and this new theory were taken from Ibn Sina and were cooked and nurtured by Suhravardi. The logic of Suhravardi's arguments, as explained in this book, can be interpreted and formulated in different ways; But one of the most attractive and defensible interpretations is related to Tony Street, based on which, Suhrwardi's 13th-century logic of justifications is a foresight of Paul Tom's 20th-century interpretation of Avicenna's logic of justifications. In fallacies, the book also reveals that Suhrawardi, following Avicenna, transforms polemical positions from the principles of debate strategy into "fallacies of definition" and takes Aristotelian fallacies as "fallacies of reasoning"; thus, like Bo Ali, he distinguishes two types of of of fallacies: definitional fallacies and argumentation fallacies.
