The Political Philosophy of Mull? ?adr?Author(s): Seyyed Khalil Toussi\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138807341, 978-1138807341\nSynopsis\nProviding a comprehensive and widely accessible investigation into Mull? ?adr?s works, this book establishes his political philosophy and instigates a dialogue on the relevance of ?adr?s philosophy to present day challenges. \n\nInvestigating ?adr?s primary sources, the book reveals that his discourse on politics cannot be interpreted as a discursive springboard for hierocracy and political authority of jurists, nor does the mystical attitude of his philosophy (with its emphasis on the inner aspects of religion) promote an idea of quietism or a fundamental separation of religion and politics. Laying the groundwork for further translations and interpretation, this volume is not just concerned with political philosophy as yet another particular and limited facet of ?adr?s over.
