A groundbreaking reassessment of the legacy of the enigmatic Shah Ismail.
Seyed Javad Miri presents Shah Ismail not merely as a historical figure but as a mystic, poet, and thinker who profoundly influenced Iranian and global intellectual landscapes. Through critical approaches to knowledge, language, and social theory, the book unearths the marginalized Gnostic tradition of Khatai, revealing its enduring significance. By challenging Eurocentric and nationalist historiographies, Miri invites readers to rethink the intersections of Irfan, governance, and cultural identity.
Seyed Javad Miri is Professor of Sociology and Philosophy at the Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies in Tehran. He has authored works on critical social theory, philosophy of language, and post-colonial thinkers.
