Theocratic Secularism

Religion and Government in Shi'i Thought

Beschreibung

In Theocratic Secularism, author Naser Ghobadzadeh questions the religious logic used to legitimize the rule of the clergy in Iran. Ghobadzadeh argues that orthodox shi'ism considers the institution of government to be outside the realm of religion and religious leaders. Coining the term 'theocratic secularism', Ghobadzadeh ultimately argues for the re-instatement of a form of political secularism in Iran.
