Revisiting the Critical Legacy of Shah Ismail
A groundbreaking reassessment of the legacy of the enigmatic Shah Ismail.
Seyed Javad Miri presents 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 readers to rethink the intersections of Irfan, governance, and cultural identity.
