[Liberation Theologies part 1] Ali Shariati: Revolution, Islamic modernism and Red Shiism

Emancypacje

We begin our new mini-series "Liberation Theologies" where we look at the intersection of emancipatory politics and religion with an exciting conversation about Ali Shariati, a renowned Iranian revolutionary, sociologist, political theologian and theoretician. Our guests are two major specialists in this field: prof. Dustin J. Byrd (The University of Olivet) and prof. Seyedjavad Miri (Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies in Tehran). As regular collaborators they authored and edited several important books together, including "Ali Shariati and the Future of Social Theory: Religion, Revolution, and the Role of the Intellectual" (Brill, 2017). Take a deep dive into Shariati's contribution to political philosophy and the Iranian Revolution the victory of which he did not live to see.
