Book Description
This text is an examination from theological, philosophical, socio-political and historical perspectives of the significance of the concept of the individual in the thinking of Iranians. It argues 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.
