“Foucault…also admired the fact that the Iranian masses revived the spirit of revolution, which many Europeans believed had disappeared from history [post 1968]”

—Foucault in Iran-Islamic Revolution After the Enlightenment, Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi

 “In prison I became anti-revolution, all revolutions! From the French Revolution to the Arab Spring. In my view, all revolutions have fundamental problems.”

—Behzad Navabi, 2018

(Former guerrilla turned post-revolutionary parliamentary reformist)

 “Because everyone else

They’ve had to forfeit a dream

No, the possibility to dream

And I’m still here

Weathered but holding on

Like a child to their parents hands

I’ve not let go

I won’t let go”

—Return and Difference, Maryam Nouri, 2018 (My Trans.)

 “People's dreams are always all consuming and threaten to devour us. What other people dream is very dangerous. Dreams are a terrifying will to power. Each of us is more or less a victim of other people's dreams… beware of the dreams of others, because if you are caught in their dream, you are done for.”

—Two Regimes of Madness, Giles Deleuze

 “I travel within myself besieged by contradictions”

—Mural, Mahmoud Darwish

This June, the OUP Philosophy team honours Mullā Sadrā (1571-1640) as their Philosopher of the Month.

An Iranian Islamic philosopher, Mullā Ṣadrā is recognised as the major process philosopher of the school of Isfahan. Ṣadrā is primarily associated with ‘metaphilosophy’, but also maintains sovereign status as a spiritual leader for the Islamic East. He formed the Transcendent Wisdom philosophical system which brings together elements from much of what Ṣadrā studied throughout his life.

We’ve compiled a reading list highlighting our favourite works on Mullā Ṣadrā and Islamic Philosophy. Enjoy!

There is no question that the leap Iranians took forty years ago let them to a perilous road through the reign of terror, war, international political strain and debilitating sanctions. This 40th anniversary of the revolution belongs to those who believed and continue to believe that courage and dignity cannot be burdened by fear and obedience.
