From the Publisher
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/span>Abdolkarim Soroush has emerged as one of the leading moderate revisionist thinkers of the Muslim world. He and his contemporaries in other Muslim countries are shaping what may become Islam\u2019s equivalent of the Christian Reformation: a period of questioning traditional practices and beliefs and, ultimately, of upheaval. Presenting eleven of his essays, this volume makes Soroush\u2019s thought readily available in English for the first time. The essays set forth his views on such matters as the freedom of Muslims to interpret the Qur\u2019an, the inevitability of change in religion, the necessity of freedom of belief, and the compatibility of Islam and democracy. Throughout, Soroush emphasizes the rights of individuals in their relationship with both government and God, explaining that the ideal Islamic state can only be defined by the beliefs and will of the majority.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis selection of [Khatami\u2019s] writings reveals a genuinely liberal intellect rooted in Soroush\u2019s Iranian and Islamic culture but at home with Western thought\u2026his statements are penetrating and coherent.\u201d \u2013Foreign Affairs
\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cSoroush\u2019s call for the unabashed application of reason to all the problems of the Muslim community is a profoundly liberating approach to religious and intellectual modernization.\u201d\u2013Social Epistemology Journal of Knowledge, Culture, & Policy <\/span><\/p>\n

Farbeh Tar Az Ideology<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>
\n
\n<\/a><\/strong>(Sturdier Than Ideology) (381p)<\/em>
\n<\/strong>This book is named after the most important article in it which discusses the subject of making religion equal to an ideology, and the role of the late Dr Shariati in doing so. By \u201cmaking religion equal to an ideology\u201d, he means making out of religion a codified system, bereft of the element of perplexity, which is used as a weapon and is foe-generating and foe-seeking, and in particular stresses hatred more than it stresses love. He also points out that for making religion equal to an ideology it is necessary that there be an official group of interpreters for it; this being harmful to the religion, and even contrary to the late Ali Shariati\u2019s own view, seeing that he was not pleased with the clergy and did not regard their existence as an official class befitting to the religion\u2019s true esteem.<\/p>\n

(The Theory of Evolution of Religious Knowledge or- Text in Context)<\/a>
\n(681p)<\/em>The most controversial of all his books. This is a collection of articles that had earlier appeared in the monthly journal \u201cKayhan-e Farhangi\u201d and had caused much controversy even then. The book has gone through four impressions, twenty thousand copies being published. In this book he presents a detailed discussion on the subject of the evolution of religion, explaining that religious knowledge is distinct from religion itself \u2013 the former being one among many of the branches of human knowledge and in interaction and transaction with them so that if the other branches of knowledge are subject to change and transformation, one can expect religious knowledge also to go through transformations. Dr Soroush has also proposed the mechanism for this transformation,
\nemphasizing that, in reality, it is the human beings\u2019 understanding of religion that constitutes religious knowledge.<\/p>\n
