Mehr-shenāsī: Bāzpas-gīrī-ye sarcheshmeh-hā-ye moqaddas-e naẓm-e siyāsī Persiska (Farsi) 2025

Mehrology | Cosmology of Mehr: Reclaiming the Sacred Sources of Political Order is a thought-provoking two-volume work in the fields of political philosophy, Iranian thought, and the reinterpretation of ancient spiritual concepts. Structured in two parts, Reconstructing Political Mehr and The Political Philosophy of Mehr, the book represents a sustained intellectual effort to recover the sacred foundations of political order grounded in Mehr, justice, and consciousness.

Adopting a philosophical, poetic, and critical approach, the author examines Mehr not merely as a human emotion, but as an ontological force and a foundational principle of social and political order. Mehrology builds a bridge between ancient Iranian thought—particularly Zoroastrian concepts such as Mehr and Asha—and contemporary political philosophy. In doing so, it offers a rooted and indigenous alternative to dominant, Western-centered narratives of politics and sovereignty.

The book addresses a fundamental question: can a political order be reimagined on the basis of Mehr and justice rather than coercion and authoritarianism? By stripping away historical myth-making and re-reading Iran’s intellectual traditions, the author demonstrates that Iranian political philosophy possesses the capacity to propose a more humane model of governance.

Mehrology is a compelling work for readers interested in political philosophy, Iranian studies, religious and spiritual thought, and for those seeking a renewed understanding of the relationship between humanity, power, ethics, and the cosmos. It presents politics not merely as an instrument of power, but as an expression of meaning and human responsibility.
