Mir Damad (1561–1631)

Born 1561 CE, died 1631 CE.

Seyyed Mir Mohammad Baqer Astarabadi (c. 1561 – 1631/1632), commonly known as Mīr Dāmād (Persian: ميرداماد), was an Iranian Twelver Shia philosopher in the Neoplatonizing Islamic Peripatetic traditions of Avicenna. He was a scholar of the traditional Islamic sciences, and foremost figure (together with his student Mulla Sadra) of the cultural renaissance of Iran undertaken under the Safavid dynasty. He was also the central founder of the School of Isfahan, noted by his students and admirers as the Third Teacher (mu'alim al-thalith) after Aristotle and al-Farabi.
