The particularities of the Iranian and Islamic context shed new light on advancements and obstacles to cosmopolitan praxis. The volume provides four principle disciplinary assessments of cosmopolitanism: philosophy, political science, sociology, and cultural studies,including literary criticism. The authors in this collection critically examine topics including the historical encounter between Iranian and Western thinkers and its impact on Iranian political ideals; the tension between maintaining apolitical-theology rooted in metaphysical assumptions and the prerequisite of secularism in cosmopolitan and democratic philosophies. This highly innovative volume will be of interest to scholars and students of Middle Eastern and Iranian Studies, Islamic Studies, Globalization, Political Science and Philosophy."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aSuspensions (Series) 606 $aCosmopolitanism$zIran 606 $2Islamic studies 607 $aIran$xCivilization$xWestern influences 607 $aIran$xCivilization$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmopolitanism 676 $a303.48/25501821 702 $aStone$b Lucian W.$f1972- 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511672203321 996 $aIranian identity and cosmopolitanism$92549973 997 $aUNINA
