‘The Idea of Persia is a compelling and eloquent examination of the Iranian people’s struggle for democracy and social liberty by one of Iran’s most significant thinkers. Ramin Jahanbegloo argues that by embracing the humanistic values intrinsic to Iranian culture, and building on the examples of enlightened thinkers of the early twentieth century, Iran can overcome the fanaticism and violence that has beleaguered it for so long, and achieve the political and social freedoms Iranians have long sought.’ Robert Steele, Institute of Iranian Studies, Austrian Academy of Sciences
