Thankless Toil: My Old Poems Revisited
This is my little book of experimental poetry and also the first book I ever published, as well as my first book that was banned by the authorities of the Islamic Republic; so it was the first in quite a number of things! Full of ideas, this bricolage shows something of my epistemological fascination with Borges and Foucault, with a pinch of Housman's morbid reticence, which all in all pushed me to take up the Songs attributed to Xayyam later on. The subject matters being so diverse, the sole factor that brings the isolated poems together is experimentation itself, which arises from my perpetual concern with writing as a consciously continuous move toward the intensification of the theme plus the distinction of the style. As such, it is a curious combination of staticism and dynamism that I neither know how nor want to reconcile! In the end, I must confess that after all these years when I came to revise the book for this second edition, I surprisingly found myself still liking it!

The Confluence of Wisdom Along the Silk Road
For centuries along the vibrant cultural corridor of the Silk Road of Central Asia, philosophers and thinkers from Hellenic, Chinese and Indian traditions debated existential issues. Out of this stimulating milieu, the iconic poet-mathematician Omar Khayyam emerged in the eleventh century, advancing a transformative intercultural philosophy in his poetic work, the Rubaiyat. Vaziri traces the themes of Khayyam’s Rubaiyat back to the highly influential philosophical traditions of the Silk Road and uncovers fascinating parallels in original works by Heraclitus, Zhuangzi (Daoism), Nagarjuna (Mahayana Buddhism), and the Upanishads. In addition, Vaziri’s elegant translation and unique classification of the verses of the Rubaiyat reveal an existential roadmap laid out by Khayyam. In this pioneering volume, Vaziri not only fuses the multiple disciplines of literature, philosophy, culture, history and medicine but also takes the approach of the Rubaiyat to a new level, presenting it as a source of wisdom therapy that stands the test of time in the face of doubt and confusion, offering a platform for self-restoration.
أمريكا وجماعات الضغط.. إيران ومؤسسات صنع القرار السياسي
إن وجود جماعات ضغط مهما كان تأثيرها وتوغلها في مؤسسات صنع القرار الأمريكي لا يبرر للولايات المتحدة وللعالم الغربي التناقض مع قيم الحداثة والسير في اتجاه دعم ومساندة قوى التخلف والطائفية. والحال كذلك ينطبق على التعاطف الغربي غير المبرر حضاريًا وثقافيًا مع الجماعات الإسلاموية. وبالطبع إن النظام الإيراني يرتكز في بنيانه ونظرياته على الاستعارة من جماعات دينية سبقته في التشدد والتنظي...
النزاعات المسلحة "و دينامية التحولات الجيوسياسية في منطقة الشرق اٌلأوسط و شمال افريقيا"
ُيعالج كتاب "النزاعات المسلحة في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا" دينامية التحولات الجيوسياسية، وهو موضوع شديد التركيب والتعقيد في الوقت نفسه، خاصة أن المنطقة، موضوع البحث، تواجه بشكل غير مسبوق العديد من المتغيرات السياسية والعسكرية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية والديموغرافية، خصوصًا في مرحلة ما عُرِفَ بالربيع العربي، ما يعني تغييرًا ممنهجًا للمنظومة السياسية والأمنية الممتدة على ...
The Classical Liberal Case for Israel
This book offers a unique perspective on the State of Israel based on classical liberalism, both on a historical and theoretical level. Specifically, it makes a classical liberal and libertarian analysis based upon homesteading and private property rights to defend the State of Israel. As such, this work explores the history of the Jewish State, both to provide a positive case for its right to exist, and to clarify the myths surrounding its origin and development. At the same time, it deals with other relevant related subjects, such as the complex situation between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, the military campaigns against the Jewish State, the connection between anti-Zionism and anti-...
Iran’s Networks of Influence in the Middle East
Tehran’s ability to fight by, with and through third parties in foreign jurisdictions has become a valuable and effective sovereign capability that gives Iran strategic advantage in the region. Tehran has possessed a form of this capability since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, but its potency and significance have risen sharply in the past decade, to the point where it has brought Iran more regional influence and status than either its nuclear or ballistic-missile programmes. The IISS Strategic Dossier Iran’s Networks of Influence provides an understanding of how Iran builds, operates and uses this capability. Based on original field research, open-source information and interviews with...
Antisemitismus - uralt und doch gefährlich!
Antisemitismus oder auch Antijudaismus, die Feindschaft gegenüber Juden, gehört zu den ältesten und hartnäckigsten Vorurteilen gegenüber Menschen. Selbst die Wurzeln des Antisemitismus sind umstritten. Die einen sehen diese im religiös begründeten christlichen Antijudaismus ("Juden als Christusmörder"), die anderen noch viel früher in der Bibelgeschichte bei den Enkeln des Religionsvaters Abraham, nämlich im Streit zwischen den Zwillingsbrüdern Essau und Jakob um den Segen des Vaters. Im Mittelalter gab es weitere Begründungen und ab der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts sprach man nicht mehr von Antijudaismus sondern von Antisemitismus, was sich fortan auf die Rasse bezog. Nu...
