Ayatollah Murtaza Mutahhari was a significant figure in the movement which brought the Islamic Republic of Iran into being. Mutahhari, a student of Ayatollah Khomeini and particularly close to his mentor, had broad theoretical concerns regarding religion, society and economy. He is generally considered as a prominent contemporary intellectual figure among the Iranian and Shi'ite scholars of the time. This book describes the life and works of this philosopher, jurist, preacher and writer, who was educated in the Qum Seminary and worked in Tehran.
Mahmood T. Davari is uniquely qualified to write about this influential man, having been one of Mutahhari's students, as well as the student of Mutahhari's lifelong friend, Ayatullah Montazeri. Drawing upon firsthand reports, notes and interviews with Mutahhari's family and friends, the author highlights less-documented parts of the political trends in contemporary Iranian society. This book will appeal to scholars and students interested in modern Iranian politics and those with an interest in representations of Islam and Shi'ism."--BOOK JACKET.
