Political Islam, Iran, and the Enlightenment: Philosophies of Hope and Despair
Mirsepassi, Ali (New York University)
This book presents a powerful challenge to the dominant media and scholarly construction of radical Islamist politics as a purely Islamic phenomenon derived from insular, traditional and monolithic religious 'foundations'. It argues that the discourse of political Islam has strong connections to important and disturbing currents in Western philosophy and intellectual trends.
