Beskrivning
From Cyrus the Great to the present day, Iran has been plagued by a recurrent syndrome of tyranny. For Ramin Jahanbegloo, the cure for this lies in a reengagement with the idea of a beautiful society. In Iran: Beauty and Tyranny he presents beauty as an antidote to authoritarianism, and as a methodology of freedom: one first taught by the philosophers of ancient Greece, who bound beauty and goodness together in the principle of kalokagathia, and later revived by the German Enlightenment. A work of hope and of faith in the people of Iran, this provocative and timely intervention from the author of The Idea of Persia turns to the past in order to imagine a way forward. Drawing on Hegel, Schiller, Arendt, Camus and more, Jahanbegloo lays out a vision of how Iran and Iranians might come to live in beautiful freedom.

Ramin Jahanbegloo has produced another masterful reflection on liberty and tyranny from the ancient world to the present, defending an image of Iran that beguiles and educates. He remains the most lucid and appealing instructor regarding Persia and its lessons.
