Reviews

  • Muslims beginning especially with the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran under the guidance of Ayatollah Khomeini have demanded a certain religious visibility, as Seyed Javad Miri has demonstrated, in their societies. However, even if Islamism is the future, it must be infused, as Miri points out, with the spirit of deliberative democracy, which philosophically separates the sources of legitimism from the particular actions of any given political actor.
