Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-18 00:00:00 Taylor Locke Ali Shariati, a pure genius of his own! This book reminded me of Anayatullah Mashriqi's Tazkira in its context. Based on lectures with different titles, Commencing with the methodological approach of understanding Islam to The Ideal Man of Isalm. Ali Shariati, An Iranian Intellectual socialist enunciated a separate outlook of the events i read before i.e Cain and Abel. And also drew his "2 dimensional (stages)" ideological structure of Socialism: 1. The Pole of Cain (The ruler= king, owner, Aristocracy ) 2. The Pole of Abel ( The ruled= God. the People) Unlike Marx with 7 stages: Primitive Socialism, Slavery, Serfs, Feudal System, Bourgeoisie, Proletarian and Dialectical War where Classless Society evolves. A piece from his lecture on 'Ideal Man in Islam' "Ideal man passes through the very rnidst of nature and cornes to understand God; he seeks out mankind and thus attainS God. He does not bypass nature and turn his back on mankind. He holds the sword of Caesar in his hand and he has the heart of Jesus in his breast. He thinks with the brain of Socrates and loves God with the heart of I-lallaj. As Alexis Carrel desired, he is a man who understands the beauty of science arid the beauty of God; he listens to the words of Pascal and the words of Descartes. Like the Buddha, he is delivered from the dungeon of pleasure-seeking and egoisnv, like Lao Tse, he reflects on the profundity of his pritnordial nature; and like Confucius, he Ineditates on the fate of society. Like Spartacus, he is a rebel against slaveowners, and like Abu Dharr, he scatters the seed for the revolution of the hungry. Like Jesus, he bears a message of love and reconciliation, and like Moses, he is the messenger of jihad and deliverance." "He is not a man who has been formed by his environment; on the contrary, it is he who has formed his environment. He has delivered himself from all the forms of compulsion that constantly press down upon man and impose their stereotypes on him by means of science, technology, sociology and self- awareness, through faith and awareness. He is free of the compulsion of nature and heredity, the compulsion of history, the cotnpulsion of society and environment; guided by science and technology, he has freed himself from these three prisons. As for the fourth prison, that of the self, he has liberated himself from it by means of love. He has rebelled against the ego, subdued it and refashioned it."
