He talked with society in chats solitude.[2]
In last essay, He try to respond to an some kind philosophically question namely: “what we are?”. Of course, Shariate’s approach is negative in responding. In other word he death with the question of “what we are not”. He responded that we are not materialist and Marxist. He has rendered different reasons under each heading. There is no clues as to whether the interviews are real or imaginary. The book compiles after the suspicious death of shariati.
