La Religion Et La Pensee Prises Au Piege De L'Autocratie: Voyage Au Coeur De La Pensee Politique Des Musulmans Pendant L'Essor Et Au Declin De La Civ

Book Summary

Mohammad Khatami was Professor of Islamic Philosophy long before he became President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. As such, he combines the theoretical knowledge of the philosopher with the experience of political executional power. This book is primarily an internal account by a true expert of Islam and contemporary islamic societies, but it is also an attempt by a specialist in political philosophy--notably the works of 10th-century philosopher al-Farabi--to make a very complex historical topic accessible not only to his academic peers, but also to a wider public in both Western and Middle Eastern societies.
