"Spirit in a world without spirit": Foucault's interpretation of the Iranian Revolution and resistance to western modernity by Urošević Milan

“…One of these currents argues that Foucault was "seduced" by the "irrational" aspects of Islam because his theoretical and epistemological standpoints inherently contain anti-Enlightenment aspects. A certain number of authors also agree on the interpretation that sees inconsistency in Foucault's study of the Iranian Revolution, as they believe that at this point, he abandons his understanding of power as a totalizing mechanism and introduces the idea of a free acting subject. …”

A Comparative Study of the Reasons for the Persistence of Buddhism and the Decline of Zoroastrianism in Ancient China by Amin Yazdkhasti, Hamidreza Pashazanous

“…Therefore, the present study, relying on the library method and the comparative analysis of the historical data obtained from China, tries for the first time to address the reasons for the persistence of Buddhism and the decline of Zoroastrianism in ancient China. The claim of the authors is that Buddhism has survived until today due to its compatibility and assimilation with Chinese thought and society and not having a political approach, especially from the 9th century onwards; on the other hand, due to the heterogeneity of its teachings and religious rituals in China, the Zoroastrianism could not adapt to this land and the cultural characteristics of its people. …”
