Since cosmopolitanism has often been conceived as a tenet of
'Western civilization' that emanates from its Enlightenment-based
origins in a humanist age of modernity, Iranian Identity and
Cosmopolitanism: Spheres of Belonging advances a highly innovative
gesture by contemplating the implications and relevance of the idea
in a so-called non-Western cultural territory. 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
