Description: (Iranian Revolutionary, Sociologist and One of the Most Influential Iranian Intellectuals of the 20th century)
Ali Shariati Mazinani was a notable Iranian revolutionary and sociologist known for his emphasis on the sociology of religion. He is regarded as one of the most important Iranian intellectuals of the 20th century. While often called the "ideologue of the Islamic Revolution," Shariati's ideas, though influential, did not significantly impact the establishment of the Islamic Republic. Nevertheless, his work has left a lasting imprint on the fields of sociology, revolution, and intellectual discourse in Iran.
