Overview
This book explores the development of Persian Sufism, exploring in particular the ethic of futuwwat. It demonstrates how this Iranian code of honour emphasised selflessness, loyalty, humility, generosity, courage and bravery, showing itself to be a practical philosophy of the everyday rather than just a metaphysical phenomena.
