Iranian Exceptionalism and Twelver Shi‘ism
Homa Katouzian’s exceptionally perceptive, influential, and wide-ranging scholarship has been marked by three mutually reinforcing characteristics: a profound and detailed mastery of Iran’s multi-civilizational heritage; a comparatively informed focus on the country’s distinct historical trajectory; and an existentially grounded pluralist perspective in examining and evaluating the country’s major political turning points and actors. These featur…
Between Utopia and Dystopia
Modern scholarly accounts of ancient Greece and more particularly the research programme which broadly frames Moses Finley's contributions are generally traced to George Grote's politically anchored History of Greece and re-evaluationof Athenian democracy. However, notwithstanding their far-reachinginfluence, Finley's writings display an exceptional complexity that has invited a wide spectrum of contradictory interpretations and evaluations. This…
Reformation as a General Ideal Type
This article pursues two specific and entwined objectives. It accounts for the absence of a general concept of reformation in Max Weber's sociology of religion, and demonstrates the need for one and supplies it through a comparative analysis of Islam as a 'reform-prone' Abrahamic religion
Ancient Athens and Modern Ideology
For over a century the foundations of Athenian political economy have been debated by scholarly camps broadly described as primitivist/substantivist, modernist and Marxist and involving political economists, sociologists and anthropologists as well as historians and classicists. Ancient Athens and modern ideology demonstrates the dialectic of intellectual and substantive history and offers a consensual resolution to the debate by examining the in…

Class, Embeddedness, and the Modernity of Ancient Athens
In a famous issue of Times Literary Supplement (TLS) focusing on the state of historical scholarship, Moses Finley called for “Unfreezing the Classics” through “serious history” and lamented that, “Less than a generation ago the profound disagreement between Hugh Last and (now Sir) Ronald Syme about Augustus was . . . serious. But today? While our colleagues engage in polemics over the Tudor Revolution in government, the rise of gentry, the roots…
The paradox of principles
The success of Hayek's ideas and the political project they served is especially attested by the appreciation and appropriation of his theories by socialist intellectuals whose rehabilitation was one of his life-long preoccupations. His work, however, continues to elicit contradictory epithets such as ‘remarkable consistency’ and ‘irremediable eclecticism’, ‘propaganda’ and ‘social science’. The apparent paradox is underlined by Hayek’s own force…
Reframing Orientalism
Between 1980 and 1993, the Middle East and North Africa as a region registered the steepest decline in GNP per capita in the world (World Bank 1995: 163). At present, none of the forty-six member states of the Islamic Conference Organization qualify as fully democratic in the conventional sense of the term. Culturally the record is equally discouraging, whatever the criteria used for assessing it. These keywords were added by machine and not by t…
Reframing Orientalism
In debates on the encounters of Middle Eastern societies with Western modernity, Max Weber's work is invariably seen as the classical statement of what may be called sociological Orientalism. Most 'Third Worldist' and other anti-Orientalist critics locate Weberian and neo-Weberian perspectives within Orientalism as a discourse of Western domination which has remained hegemonic since the mid-nineteenth century. In contrast, this paper argues that …
