      abstract = {A prominent civil servant, scientist, and intellectual,  Taghi Erani was a pivotal figure in interwar Iran. Witness  to two of the major political upheavals in the twentieth  century-the rise of Pahlavi and the collapse of the Weimar  Republic-he turned from fundamental science to leftwing  activism and pacifism, leading to his arrest and death in  prison. Younes Jalali traces his journey from Tehran to  Berlin, where in the 1920s he crossed paths with the  greatest German scientists and scholars of his day,  including Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and Friedrich Rosen,  and published seminal works on psychology and political  philosophy. In the 1930s, as Reza Shah pursued  rapprochement with the Third Reich, Taghi Erani was caught  up in a crackdown on left-wing and pro-labor activists. His  life and death offer a unique lens through which to view  modern Iranian intellectual and political history.},
