The Concept of the Individual

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An examination from theological, philosophical, socio-political and historical perspectives of the significance of the concept of the individual in the thinking of Iranians.

---

The author examines from different perspectives (theological and philosophical as well as socio-political and historical) the significance of the concept of the individual in the ways of thinking of Iranians. This book establishes that the mystical dimension of Islamic thought, the divine nature of Islamic law and, the mode of relationship between ruler and the ruled, in combination, counteracted growth of concern for the individual self in Iranian thought.
