Description
This book provides a thematic account of Iranian intellectuals from the Constitutional movement of 1905 to the post-1979 revolution. Ali Gheissari examines how these individuals have shaped Iran's modern self-image, navigating the tensions between tradition and modernity.
The author's analysis of intellectuals' responses to key questions such as nationalism, identity, and the relationship between Islam and modern politics sheds new light on the factors that led to the Iranian Revolution. This study offers a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding the reception of Western ideologies in the Middle East.
