Quite based. Although, the current state of Iran demonstrates that no undertaking of the spirit can survive in our times without completely severing its links with the Great Satan- which is the modern world itself. The clear collision in modern Iran between western and Islamic values is a clear proof of mine assertion. If the break doesn't come, one can only see the Revolution ending or being totally subverted to a point where the Islamic aspect of it becomes unrecognizable.

What books should I read to understand Khomeini's thought?

>> No.14611095

>>14611053
Plato, Aristotle, Avicenna, Alghazali, Sohrevardi, Mulla Sadra. Good luck.

That's hopelessly incomplete. To understand Khomeini, you should understand the nature of Islam and especially the Shi'i ethos.

No. The philosophical underpinning (which most people don't bother understanding) is more important. What you said comes only secondary.

>> No.14611229

>>14611214
The "philosophical underpinning" is wholly based upon Islam and on Shi'i ethos- its doctrine of the Imam and its eschatology.

>> No.14611248

>>14611229
That's included and elaborated on in the philosophy as well.

>> No.14611264

>>14611229
Not as deeply as needed. A introductory work to Shi'i Islam is the start point and a necessary entrance to Khomeini's thought.
