In Search of Beauty: Reflections on the Islamic Art of Nusret Isanović

Summary/Abstract: Nusret Isanović, a philosopher from Bosnia and Herzegovina, is notable for his comprehension of Islamic art and aesthetics. His intellectual heritage spans diverse disciplines, focusing on the aesthetics of Islamic art. This paper provides a brief overview of Isanović's perspective on Islamic art. As a philosopher, Isanović developed primarily through exposure to Western European philosophical texts, a characteristic evident in his methodology. Conversely, his discourse and interests are intertwined with the realm of Islam, evident in the language and conclusions he formulates. His academic work seamlessly integrates traditional Islamic thought with Western scholarly tools, allowing for an interdisciplinary exploration of Islamic art. Isanović underscores the significance of a spiritual interpretation of Islamic art, delving into its symbolism, deeper meanings, and the context from which it emerges. Despite the constraints of this text, considering the extensive nature of Isanović's work, it is important to initiate a dialogue with his intellectual legacy and explore his impact on the understanding of Islamic aesthetics in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
