Contents:

1. Shiite discourses on sovereignty -- 2. Seeding secularity: the rise of a jurisprudential state -- 3. Religious rationale for separation -- 4. Political construction of clericalism -- 5. Clerics against clericalism -- 6. Clerical hegemony: contradictions and paradoxes -- Conclusion -- Bibliography.

Summary: This volume examines the ways by which Iranian Shiite scholars have re-articulated state-religion-society relations beyond the Islamic state paradigm. Despite its promises, the Islamic state has systematically prioritized political considerations over religious precepts, inadvertently generating a reformist religious discourse that questions the very foundations of the Islamic state. This book investigates this counter-discourse by developing the seemingly oxymoronic term 'religious secularity' to highlight the paradoxes inherent in the Islamic state ideal.
