Foucault in Iran: Islamic Revolution After the Enlightenment is a book by Iranian-born American historian, sociologist, and professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi as a groundbreaking reassessment of Michel Foucault's writings specially on the Iranian revolution.

[2][3] Michel Foucault, on the eve of the victory of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, traveled to Iran twice and in the eight reports he wrote for the Corriere della Sera newspaper, he showed deep sympathy with the revolutionary people of Iran and praised their Islamic revolution.

Foucault did not give an explicit answer to these criticisms, and it was even thought that he implicitly reversed his position in his previous writings about Iran.

Isn't he another one of those French la-di-da speaking intellectuals who have this colonial habit of prying into other nation's issues?

[12][13] Ebrahim Towfigh (Iranian author and sociologist)[14] said at the review meeting of the book Foucault in Iran: "The book shows that Foucault studied Islam after being involved in the Iranian revolution, and he got an image of Islam influenced by reading the works of Massignon and Corbin, and in a sense especially the works of Shariati, it means a mystical reading of Islam.
