Sayyid Ali Husayni Khaminii

The Positionality of Shia Ethics in Global Discourse

Khamenei’s teachings present a compelling model for understanding Shia ethics as a critical component of global discourse. This perspective invites followers and scholars alike to cultivate a sense of agency and responsibility toward the wider world. His emphasis on ethical leadership in a geopolitical context poses pressing questions about the role of religion in shaping global ethics and governance.

This approach not only encourages a reevaluation of traditional Shia perspectives but also invites interfaith dialogue and cooperation. By fostering an environment of mutual respect and understanding, Khamenei’s vision underscores the importance of Shia contributions to global discourse in the spheres of ethics, politics, and society.
