Summary Foucault in Iran centers on the significance of Michel Foucault's writings on the Iranian Revolution and the profound mark this event left on his lectures on ethics, spirituality, and fearless speech. This interdisciplinary work will spark a lively debate in its insistence that what informed Foucault's writing was his conviction that Enlightenment rationality has not closed the gate of unknown possibilities for human societies. -- from back cover
