Political and social implications of Seyyed Hossein Nasr's Philosophy

Seyyed Hossein Nasr is among philosophers concerned mainly with the mystical philosophical tradition (Islam) and in this regard, he wrote over 50 books and 550 articles and now in the eighty decade of his life, he is still energetic and motivated, engaging still in his scientific activity. This will double the importance of analysis of his thought. Since there is no explicit referral to the political matter in Nasr's philosophy, understanding the political implications of his views and thoughts is extremely difficult apparent in this study, in some of his ideas that are based on a hermeneutic approach. The aim of the present paper is to understand the social and political aspects of Nasr's thought. In a clear and hypothetical answer to the questions related to the political and social implications of Seyyed Hossein Nasr's thought, it may be stated that he focuses his thoughts on the role of theosophy and Islamic rationality.
