By examining primary and secondary sources, and investigating longer lasting factors and questions over circumstantial ones, Mohammed Jafar Amir Mahallati seeks to understand modern Iranian responses to war and peace. His work is the first in its field to look into the ethics of war and peace in Iran and Shi'i Islam. It provides a prism through which the binary source of the Iranian national and religious identity informs Iranian response to modernity. By doing so, the author reveals that a syncretic and civilization-conscious soul in modern Iran is re-emerging. 606 $aWar$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects$zIran 606 $aPeace$xMoral and ethical aspects$zIran 607 $aIran$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWar$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aPeace$xMoral and ethical aspects 676 $a297.27 700 $aMahallati$b Mohammed Jafar Amir, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$0918767 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150181303321 996 $aEthics of War and Peace in Iran and Shi'i Islam$92060359 997 $aUNINA
