      abstract = {This book is a theoretical inquiry on the relation of the  body politic with the religious movements in the time  between the Constitutional Revolution and the Islamic  Revolution in Iran; it illustrates speculative and  historical analyses on the relationship of state, religion,  and socio-political status in the late Qajar dynasty  (1905-1925) and the whole Pahlavi monarchy. Particularly,  it examines the applicability of liberal conservatism to  the era of the last Shah of Iran. The thesis defines the  term political conservatism in accord with Edmund Burke's  philosophy. It deals next with the definition of religious  reformation, the peculiar characteristics of Islam, the  Shi'ite political theology, and the contradictory usages of  Islamic reformation in the literature. The text gives an  overview of the two antagonist sides of nationalism. It  provides also an analysis of the Islamic Republic as a new  political phenomenon in Iranian history and the  transformation of all concepts after 1979. Ayatollahi aims  to assess the Iranian conservatism, the possibility of  conciliation between politics and religion before the  collapse of the Pahlavi, and the conditions of possibility  for any restoration of the monarchy. About the author Amir  Yahya Ayatollahi received his Ph. D. from the University of  Vechta, Germany. His fields of interest are political  philosophy, modern Middle East, Iranian studies, and  Shi'ism.},
