Providing a comprehensive and widely accessible investigation into
Mulla Sadra's works, this book establishes his political philosophy
and instigates a dialogue on the relevance of Sadra's philosophy to
present day challenges. Investigating Sadra's primary sources, the
book reveals that his discourse on politics cannot be interpreted
as a discursive springboard for hierocracy and political authority
of jurists, nor does the mystical attitude of his philosophy (with
its emphasis on the inner aspects of religion) promote an idea of
quietism or a fundamental separation of religion and politics.
Laying the groundwork for further translations and interpretation,
this volume is not just concerned with 'political philosophy' as
yet another particular and limited facet of Sadra's overall system.
Rather, through unifying mystical, intellectual and political
aspects of this singular philosopher, the volume is concerned with
properly contextualizing and understanding the guiding intentions
and inspirations that unify and underlie all of his creative
philosophical endeavour. This pioneering and provocative work of
genuine reflection is a new contribution to the wider subject of
political philosophy. It will be of interest to researchers of
political philosophy, Islamic philosophy, mysticism, theology,
history and Iranian studies.
