The study argues that his discourse on politics neither supports hierocracy or Shi‘a jurists’ political authority nor leads to quietism or a strict separation of religion and politics. The work positions this “transcendent politics” as a coherent vision for socio-political justice and the virtuous city.","The Political Philosophy of Mullā Ṣadrā  \nProviding a comprehensive and widely accessible investigation into Mullā Ṣadrā’s works, this book establishes his political philosophy and instigates a dialogue on the relevance of Ṣadrā’s philosophy to present-day challenges.  \nInvestigating Ṣadrā’s primary sources, the book reveals that his discourse on politics cannot be interpreted as a discursive springboard for hierocracy and the political authority of Shi‘a jurists, nor does the mystical attitude of his philosophy (with its emphasis on the inner aspects of religion) promote an idea of quietism or a fundamental separation of religion and politics. Laying the groundwork for further translations and interpretation, this volume is not just concerned with‘political philosophy’ as yet another particular and limited facet of Ṣadrā’s overall system. Rather, through unifying mystical, intellectual and political aspects of this singular philosopher, the volume is concerned with properly contextualizing and understanding the guiding intentions and inspirations that unify and underlie all of his creative philosophical endeavour.  \nThis pioneering and provocative work of genuine reflection is anew contribution to the wider subject of political philosophy. It will be of interest to researchers of political philosophy, Islamic philosophy, mysticism, theology, history and Iranian studies.  \nSeyyed Khalil Toussi is an editor at Isthmus Press based in London and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Humanity and Cultural Studies (IHCS) .
