Numerous books and articles have been written about the life, works, and ideas of Mirza Agha Khan Kermani (1853 or 1854 Ð 1896 CE), one of the most capable Iran-centered writers, a founding figure in the discourse of the Constitutional Revolution, and one of the most influential critics of religion and government in the nineteenth century.
His book ÒTakw_n wa Tashr__Ó (Creation and Legislation) is now being published for the first time.
_q_ Kh_n-e Kirm_n_ wrote this book during a period when he was closely associated with the B_b_-Azal_ community, and in several parts of the book, he refers to Shaykh A_mad A_s___, the Shaykh_ school from which B_bism and Bah__ism later emerged, as well as to the ÒPeople of the Bay_nÓ (ahl-i bay_n). Since _q_ Kh_n-e Kirm_n_, in his book Ha_t Behe_t (ÒEight ParadisesÓ), refers to Takw_n wa Ta_r__ (ÒCreation and LegislationÓ), and since an (incomplete) copy of Ha_t Behe_t was sent to Professor Browne in 1891, it may be inferred that Takw_n wa Ta_r__ was written in that same year or earlier.
_q_ Kh_n-e Kirm_n_ used the concept of takw_n both in the sense of creationÑmeaning the origination of existenceÑand in the sense of Darwinian evolution., Mirza Agha Khan Kermani, M.
