Book Summary
In this thought-provoking book, Ali Mirsepassi explores the concept of modernity
and exposes the Eurocentric prejudices underlying its development. He provides a
new interpretation of Islamic Fundamentalism through a detailed analysis of the
ideas of key Islamic intellectuals and argues that the Iranian Revolution was
not a simple clash between modernity and tradition but an attempt to accommodate
modernity within a sense of authentic Islamic identity and culture. He concludes
by assessing the future of secularism and democracy in the Middle East in
general, and in Iran in particular.
