Since the late nineteenth century, modernizing intellectuals, religious leaders, and statesmen in Iran have attempted to curtail many such practices as "superstitious," instead encouraging the development of rational religious sensibilities and dispositions. However, far from diminishing the diverse methods through which Iranians engage with the immaterial realm, these rationalizing processes have multiplied the possibilities for metaphysical experimentation. The Iranian Metaphysicals examines these experiments and their transformations over the past century. Drawing on years of ethnographic and archival research, Alireza Doostdar shows that metaphysical experimentation lies at the center of some of the most influential intellectual and religious movements in modern Iran. These forms of exploration have not only produced a plurality of rational orientations toward metaphysical phenomena but have also fundamentally shaped what is understood as orthodox Shi'i Islam, including the forms of Islamic rationality at the heart of projects for building and sustaining an Islamic Republic. Delving into frequently neglected aspects of Iranian spirituality, politics, and intellectual inquiry, The Iranian Metaphysicals challenges widely held assumptions about Islam, rationality, and the relationship between science and religion. -- Back cover Geschichte 1900-2000 gnd Islam (DE-588)4027743-4 gnd Okkultismus (DE-588)4043421-7 gnd Islam and science Iran Islamic occultism Metaphysics Mysticism Islam Uncanny, The (Psychoanalysis) Religionsethnologie (DE-588)4177738-4 gnd Schiiten (DE-588)4052455-3 gnd Spiritualismus (DE-588)4182356-4 gnd Sufismus (DE-588)4058522-0 gnd Metaphysik (DE-588)4038936-4 gnd Geisterglaube (DE-588)4156356-6 gnd Rationalismus (DE-588)4129164-5 gnd Religiöse Erfahrung (DE-588)4076649-4 gnd Religiöser Wandel (DE-588)4761239-3 gnd Islam et ésotérisme Iran ram Mystique Islam Iran ram Islam et sciences Iran ram Métaphysique ram Iran (DE-588)4027653-3 gnd Hochschulschrift gnd-content Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS zbzmon201805l tobt zbzswk201806g schu idszbz Z2 UESZ-20180424 nebis EN s1th rnv IDSBB 100 1- Doostdar Alireza (DE-588)1156570573 Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Doostdar Alireza (DE-588)1156570573 Verfasser aut VAUD 100 1- Doostdar Alireza aut Metadata rights reserved vaud SWISSBIB 530196328 BK020300 XK020000 XK020000 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 NEBIS UESZ UESZ ULESZ ESZ M: 755 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2018 A 25282 NEBIS ZAD50 EBI01 Z01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-0-691-16378-9_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB B400 B400 400H5 BeM RFA 92790 NELB4001902 IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 B400 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006855382/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis VAUD bcud bcud USA 52376 297:39 810010027
