"All in all, then, the present book provides deep and exciting insights into an agitated and crucial period of Iran’s intellectual history. And in so doing, it constitutes a reliable basis and incitement for further research into many topics to do with (Islamic) philosophy and intellectual history, not only in Qājār Iran, but well beyond that era and that area." Urs Gösken, in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 115/1 (2020)
