About this product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
Iranian Identity and Cosmopolitanism is a welcome addition to the literature on contemporary Iran and cosmopolitanism. Through the lenses of a host of disciplines-- from Philosophy to Political Science and History to Comparative Literature-- the authors of this collection demonstrate the complexities of Iranian identity and the pull of the past in the context of contemporary social upheaval. In addition to academic rigor, these essays are inspired by the life experiences of the authors which lends the work the kind of authenticity and urgency lacking in most academic discourse. The specific topics of inquiry range from citizenship and democracy; secularism and religion; gender, class, and national identities; dissent and the status of minorities; and, to boot, a critique of cosmopolitanism itself. Cosmopolitanism turns out to be a wide-angled lens which encompasses the full spectrum of thinking about Iranian identities., " Iranian Identity and Cosmopolitanism has numerous contributors. They represent a broad spectrum of Iranian intellectuals who have immigrated to North America. Their disciplines include history, political science, comparative literature, philosophy, and religious studies. The chapters are wide ranging in topics, from citizenship and democracy to dissidence and martyrdom. Women as well as minorities find their voices among these contributors." -- SCTIW Review
