Cultural Schizophrenia - Paperback
by Daryush Shayegan (Author)
Professor Daryush Shayegan's book is a major contribution to what is perhaps the most critical debate within the Muslim world today: the relationship between its own culture and the influence of Western modernity.
Based on examples ranging from Iran to Morocco, the author portrays a society he defines as peripheral--bound by a slavish adherence to its own glorified history, its "Tradition"--yet facing an external reality that derives from the West. The meeting of these two incompatible worlds sees the West but, more importantly, in how it sees itself.
Daryush Shayegan is a former professor of comparative philosophy and Indology at Tehran University, former director of the Iranian Center for the Study of Civilizations and former director of the Institute for Ismai`li Studies in Paris.
