Abstract
In this paper, I offer a modern adaptation of a theory of imagination that we can find in the writings of Shihāb al-Dīn Suhrawardī (1154–1191) and his followers in the Ishrāqī tradition (‘illuminationism’). I turn to this philosophical tradition because it offers a rare historical example of a type of theory that treats imagination as a primary source of knowledge. That is, on the Ishrāqī account, even an ideal human knower must know certain things via imagination. What I offer is a ‘modern adaptation’ of the theory in that I try to extract the theory of imagination from the cosmological and theological framework of the Ishrāqī thought. The resulting theory is still Ishrāqī in that it relies on a unique form of Platonism about knowledge that, I suggest, we can find in Suhrawardī's writings. Finally, I discuss how the reconstructed Ishrāqī conception of imaginative knowledge is especially appealing as a theory of moral knowledge.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
