The present book seeks to introduce the essence of the Shiite school as a completely different perspective on the foundation of religious thought with a rational approach that has a worldview and anthropology that are completely distinct from the official Sunni reading of the Islamic school, which results in the presentation of three axes for the nature of Shiite as the essential components of this school. The book is divided into four main parts: The first part is responsible for explaining the main and central idea of Shiite thought, namely its mystical worldview and anthropology. The second part, while presenting evidence to prove spiritual guardianship for the prophets and imams, also deals with an important issue regarding the objective function of spiritual guardianship and the distinction between objective spiritual guidance and conceptual and rational guidance. The third part is responsible for the rationality axis of Shiite thought, and the fourth part, which is almost inseparable from the third part, deals with philosophy. It deals with the Shiite political system and how and why the Imamate system was realized after the Holy Prophet and its theoretical and practical challenges with the caliphate system in Sunni history and thought.
In this work, an effort has been made to present all the aspects necessary for a comprehensive and unobstructed introduction to Shiite thought in this very volume, so that the interested and careful reader, by carefully studying this text, will not need to refer to any other work to ascertain the nature of Shiite thought and, conversely, the dominant Sunni thought in past and contemporary history.
