Full Description
The study of the humanities is a truly global endeavour as cultures seek to make sense of the category of the human and its locations. What gives that inquiry colour, vibrancy, and dynamism, are the local and embedded expressions of the study of the human. Iran, both in premodern tradition and in the modern period, has been one of the leading Asian countries contributing to knowledge production and Muslim literatures and humanities. This volume, Humanities in Iran, offers a fresh voice about the structures, developments, receptions, and marginalization of the humanities (ʿUlūm-i Insānī) as a discipline in the Iranian academic context, particularly following the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Humanities in Iran is a series of reflections upon the connection between the classic and modern subjects in the humanities in relation to Eurocentrism, processes of Islamisation, and beyond the classic insider-outsider approaches to the field.
