A Conversation With Seyyed Hossein Nasr

Resim

Join us for an onstage conversation with Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the world’s leading teachers on Sufism and Islamic spirituality. Imam Zaid Shakir, nationally acclaimed Islamic scholar and teacher, and writer Jason van Boom will interview Prof. Nasr onstage about his new autobiographical book In Search of the Sacred. Our conversation will explore Prof. Nasr’s life, his intellectual and spiritual paths, and Islam and modernity. There will be a question-and-answer session and book signing as well. Islam and Authors is a program similar to City Arts and Lectures, but focusing on Islam.

Sure to be a key resource for decades to come, In Search of the Sacred: A Conversation with Seyyed Hossein Nasr on his life and thought illuminates Nasr's experiences and shares his insights on topics from religion and philosophy to science and the arts.

Based on a series of interviews, the book combines traditional autobiography with an exploration of the intellectual and spiritual trajectories of the author's thought during key periods of his life. In doing so, it presents a fascinating panorama, not only of the life and ideas of one man, but also of major events ranging from intellectual life in Iran during the Pahlavi period and the Iranian Revolution to some of the major religious and intellectual debates between Islam and modernism. Nasr writes that his whole life has been a quest for the sacred. This work connects that quest with some of the most important issues of the day in encounters between Islam and the West.

Tickets: $10 general, $5 students.

Date and Time: Friday, October 1, 7 pm.

Location: Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California, 1433 Madison Street (between 14th and 15th streets), Oakland, 94612
