The Iran depicted in the headlines is a rogue state ruled by ever-more-defiant Islamic fundamentalists. Yet inside the borders, an unheralded transformation of a wholly different political bent is occurring. A "liberal renaissance," as one Iranian thinker terms it, is emerging in Iran, and in his pamphlet, Reading Legitimation Crisis in Tehran: Iran and the Future of Liberalism Danny Postel charts the contours of this intellectual upheaval.
