| Abstract | "Explore the enigmatic legacy of Shah Ismail in this groundbreaking work by Seyed Javad Miri, wherein the author reexamines Shah Ismail not merely as a historical figure but as a mystic, poet, and thinker who profoundly influenced Iranian and global intellectual landscapes. Through critical approaches to knowledge, language, and social theory, the book unearths the marginalized Gnostic tradition of Khatai, revealing its enduring significance. By challenging Eurocentric and nationalist historiographies, Miri invites you to rethink the intersections of Irfan, governance, and cultural identity." -- Publisher, page four of cover. |
