The problem of revelation in the philosophy of Eastern Peripateticism and its comparison with reason

As we have noted, in the philosophy of Eastern Peripateticism the problem of revelation has not yet been studied in a philosophical aspect. According to the Eastern Peripatetic, revelation, inspiration and dreams, as esoteric knowledge, have an intuitive character. Imagination plays a major role in their acquisition. It is directly related to the evolutionary stage of mental cognition. However, philosophers considered the divine to be the source of all three knowledge of mental cognition. In these matters, they persistently emphasized, that the origin of personality, the divine will are decisive factors. From this it becomes clear that the Eastern Peripatetics, commenting on their philosophical views, tried to reconcile religion with philosophy.
