Description
Towards Emancipation: Decoloniality and Critical Social Theory in the Primordial School of Thought presents a rigorous exploration of non-Western intellectual traditions and their potential to reshape the contours of contemporary social theory. Seyed Javad Miri interrogates the contributions of seminal thinkers such as Allama Tabatabai, Ali Shariati, Imam Musa Sadr, and Syed Hussein Alatas, whose ideas, though rooted in specific cultural and historical contexts, transcend their origins to offer universally relevant insights into modernity, social ontology, and the intricate dynamics of human agency. In this scholarly work, Miri engages with the central tenets of decolonial theory, critically assessing the lingering influence of Eurocentric epistemologies and social structures, and articulates the enduring relevance of these frameworks in challenging the intellectual legacy of colonialism. Seyed Javad Miri is a Swedish-Iranian sociologist and professor at the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies in Tehran, Iran. He is a specialist in Islamic social theory, inter-civilizational discourse, and contemporary Islamic thought.
