Michel Foucault y la revolución islámica de Irán: el nacimiento de un gobierno islámico desde la espiritualidad política

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: During his trip to Iran in 1978, thinker and philosopher Michel Foucault tried to understand the fundamental elements of the Islamic revolution in Iran, expressing his point of view on power and its relationship with the social movements in the Eastern world. Foucault abandoned Western theoretical models so as to explain the disputes that caused the revolution. It was in this way that the people of Iran had already decided to take the path of change, a transition that conformed to the Islamic religion, instituting a culture linked to the Shiite branch, which in turn unified the energy of the masses that reflected the general will - the Political Spirituality - against Shāh's rule.
