Abbas Milani is currently a visiting professor of political science at Stanford University and a research fellow at Stanford Universitys Hoover Institution. he has been Chair of the Department of History and Political Science at Notre Dame de Namur University since 1987. He has written and published extensively on Irans encounter with modernity.
"Milani shows that long before the European Renaissance generated the radical ideas that eventually reshaped Europe and the United States, Persian statesmen, artists, and intellectuals had formulated ideas that strikingly anticipate those of modernity.... Lost Wisdom is not only a powerful work of historical analysis; it is also a moving and eloquent account of a series of remarkable individuals, depicted with rare sensitivity and precision. This is an important book for readers eager to expand their intellectual horizons beyond the familiar cost of characters and ideas."
