am currently reading this, So fascinating and engaging!
“I arrived too early, My time has still not

come, My time is tomorrow. ” Ahmad Fardid Interesting details, but fairly repetitive, Definitely a useful work for scholars of Fardid, though, Ahmad Fardid, the 'antiWestern' philosopher known to many as the Iranian Heidegger, became the selfproclaimed philosophical spokesperson for the Islamic Republic, famously coining the term 'Westoxication'.
Using new materials about Fardid's intellectual biography and interviews with thirteen individuals, Ali Mirsepassi pieces together the striking story of Fardid's life and intellectual legacy.
Each interview in turn sheds light on Iran's twentiethcentury intellectual and political selfconstruction and highlights Fardid's important role and influence in the creation of Iranian modernity.
The Fardid phenomenon was unique to the Iranian story, and yet contributed to a broader twentiethcentury Heideggerian tradition that marked the political destiny of other countries under a similar ideological sway.
Through these accounts, Mirsepassi cuts to the nerve of how deadly political 'authenticity movements' take hold of modern societies and spread their ideology.
Combining a sociological framework with the realities of lived experience, he examines Iran's recent and astonishing upheavals, experiments, and mass mobilizations.
