Abstract

The paper aims to study the Shahnameh on the basis of Hegel’s theory of tragedy. For Hegel, political authority was closely related to tragedy and the two formed a unique worldview that helps us understand Greek society and polity in a new way. It is hoped that by studying the Shahnameh on this basis, we may be able to come to a better understating of Iranian society and polity.
