Focusing on the Iranian experience of modernity, he charts its political and intellectual history and develops a new interpretation of Islamic Fundamentalism through the detailed analysis of the ideas of key Islamic intellectuals. The author argues that the Iranian Revolution was not a simple clash between modernity and tradition but an attempt to accommodate modernity within a sense of authentic Islamic identity, culture and historical experience. He concludes by assessing the future of secularism and democracy in the Middle East in general, and in Iran in particular. A significant contribution to the literature on modernity, social change and Islamic Studies, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of social theory and change, Middle Eastern Studies, Cultural Studies and many related areas. 410 0$aCambridge cultural social studies. 517 3 $aIntellectual Discourse & the Politics of Modernization 606 $aPolitics and culture$zIran 606 $aIslam and politics$zIran 606 $aIslam and secularism$zIran 607 $aIran$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aPolitics and culture 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aIslam and secularism 676 $a955.05 700 $aMirsepassi$b Ali$0712788 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455357303321 996 $aIntellectual discourse and the politics of modernization$92486188 997 $aUNINA
