The Liberal & openDemocracy present...

IRAN AND THE
FUTURE OF LIBERALISM

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently called on Iranian students to "yell against liberal thoughts". Yet the philosophy of Liberalism has suffused the nation's rich cultural fabric and reinvigorated her intellectual life; the ideas of Habermas, Hegel, Kant and Arendt have become
the subject of impassioned debates about the nature of civil society and the public sphere. In an
age averse to affirmation, the citizens of this reactionary theocracy see Liberalism for what it is –
a profoundly radical political project whose time has come.
