"Winner of the Vinson Sutlive Book Prize, Anthropology Department of William & Mary"
"Winner of the 2018 Albert Hourani Book Award, Middle East Studies Association"
"Important and highly original."---Nile Green, Los Angeles Review of Books
"Alireza Doostdar’s The Iranian Metaphysicals stands as a rigorous and thoughtful contribution to this scholarship. Drawing on a rich ethnographic archive, Doostdar gives us a superbly argued and highly original exploration of Iran’s ‘metaphysical explorers.’"---Charles Hirschkind, Immanent Frame
"The Iranian Metaphysicals provides valuable insights not only to scholars of Iran or Islamic studies, but also to those interested in global and comparative approaches to the politics of religion, cultural studies, and histories of the occult."---Elise K. Burton, International Dialogue
