<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Since cosmopolitanism has often been conceived as a tenet of 'Western civilization' that emanates from its Enlightenment-based origins in a humanist age of modernity, <i> Iranian Identity and Cosmopolitanism: Spheres of Belonging</i> advances a highly innovative gesture by contemplating the implications and relevance of the idea in a so-called non-Western cultural territory.<br/> <br/>The particularities of the Iranian and Islamic context shed new light on advancements and obstacles to cosmopolitan praxis. The volume provides four principle disciplinary assessments of cosmopolitanism: philosophy, political science, sociology, and cultural studies, including literary criticism. The authors in this collection critically examine topics including the historical encounter between Iranian and Western thinkers and its impact on Iranian political ideals; the tension between maintaining apolitical-theology rooted in metaphysical assumptions and the prerequisite of secularism in cosmopolitan and democratic philosophies. <br/> <br/>This highly innovative volume will be of interest to scholars and students of Middle Eastern and Iranian Studies, Islamic Studies, Globalization, Political Science and Philosoph<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Iranian Identity and Cosmopolitanism</i> has numerous contributors.
