Applies a contemporary topic to Islamic philosophy
Uses a methodology that is neither comparative nor strictly classical or contemporary

Claims a new reading focusing on gradational ontology and monism
Sümeyye Parildar was born in Ankara in 1980. After her BA in Marmara University Theology Faculty, she completed her first MA in Islamic Philosophy in the same university. Her second MA is in Philosophy in Birmingham University. She received her PhD in Exeter University with the dissertation titled 'Intentionality in Mulla Sadra' in 2014. She is a lecturer in Istanbul University since 2015.
This volume translates Brentano´s intentionality into medieval psychological and ontological discussions through Sadrian theories of sense perception and mental existence. Applying a new methodology, it reframes various parts of Sadrian theory around the problem of intentionality, which results in a refreshed reading of the philosopher Mulla Sadra. The book starts out by defining intentionality problem and discussing the historiography of Brentano´s conceptualization. It examines immateriality, content and aboutness, and sense perception. In its conclusion, the book claims that intentionality in Mulla Sadra combines ontological and psychological realities and that as a result of Sadrian monism, the intentionality, intentional object, the agent, and the reality are different versions of same reality.
