This book is a comparative study of two major Shi'i thinkers Hamid
al-Din Kirmani from the Fatimid Egypt and Mulla Sadra from the
Safavid Iran, demonstrating the mutual empowerment of discourses on
knowledge formation and religio-political authority in certain
Isma'ili and Twelver contexts. The book investigates concepts,
narratives, and arguments that have contributed to the generation
and development of the discourse on the absolute authority of the
imam and his representatives. To demonstrate this, key passages
from primary texts in Arabic and Persian are translated and closely
analyzed to highlight the synthesis of philosophical, Sufi,
theological, and scriptural discourses. The book also discusses the
discursive influence of Nasir al-Din Tusi as a key to the
transmission of Isma'ili narratives of knowledge and authority to
later Shi'i philosophy and its continuation to modern and
contemporary times particularly in the narrative of the
guardianship of the jurist in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
