Iranian romantic nationalism, which was propagated and promoted from the early constitutional period with the ideas and thoughts of enlightened thinkers such as Mirza Agha Khan Kermani and Mirza Fathali Akhundzadeh, and then became the dominant and legitimizing discourse of the Pahlavi monarchy during the development of the modern national state during the Reza Shah era, was the Iranian version of German romantic nationalism.
This nationalism was mainly influenced by the school of romanticism and an ideological and nostalgic view of the past, and while spreading hatred for the "other", it was based on characteristics such as the Aryan race; the Persian language; the romantic sanctification of ancient history; and making it a golden age against the Arabs, Islam, and Turks as the "other" of Iranians. It is now also presented in the form of the discourse of neo-Khamenezi romantic nationalism and urban Iranian nationalism as an alternative to Iranian society.
This book examines the destructive effects of the plagues of ideological pastivism; narcissism and self-suppression; The other antipathy and language-centricity present in Iranian romantic nationalism is addressed to the culture and social and national cohesion of Iranian society.
