Soroush's political theory in line with the modern tradition

More about the book

The book delves into Abdolkarim Soroush's philosophical insights, particularly focusing on the nuances within religion and its interpretations. Key distinctions are made between various aspects of religion, such as the difference between understanding and the essence of faith, as well as contrasting minimalist and maximalist views of Islam. Soroush also explores the internal versus external values of Islam, and the dichotomy between religious belief as an ideology and the pursuit of religious truth. His expertise in Rumi and Persian Sufi poetry enhances these philosophical discussions.
