Description
Summary:One of the trends of post-revolutionary Islamic discourses in Iran is represented by thinkers such as Shabestari and Kadivar, active members of the clergy, whose writings show important efforts to interpret classical religious thought in ways that harmonize it with modernity. Shabestari, born 1936, was the director of the Islamic Center at Hamburg from 1970 to 1979. He was elected to the first Islamic Consultative Assembly, and currently is a professor of theology at Tehran University. The author analyses his main works, demonstrating his concern to overcome the contradictions that Islamic revolutionary discourse engendered in the 1960s and 1970s. (DÜI-Cls)
