Forgée au début du XXe siècle et initialement liée aux intérêts britanniques dans le golfe Persique et au voisinage de l'Inde, l'expression "Moyen-Orient" a des définitions fluctuantes. Ce livre traite d'un espace allant de l'Egypte à l'Iran et de la mer Noire à l'océan Indien, et inclut occasionnellement le Maghreb. Il souligne l'unité de la région, qui tient à l'héritage des Empires ottoman et qâjâr et à l'ancienneté de la présence de l'islam. Son ambition est double : sortir des études sectorielles par aire linguistique ou Etat pour étudier le Moyen-Orient comme un ensemble ; dans un cadre chronologique dicté par la politique et les relations internationales, faire vivre les populations sur les plans culturel, religieux, social et économique.

"Berceau des trois monothéismes, terre de conflits confessionnels et d'obsessions identitaires, le Moyen-Orient tend à déchaîner les passions, quand il ne suscite pas la résignation devant la répétition du malheur. Pour désamorcer une telle charge symbolique, Jean-Pierre Filiu adopte une démarche résolument laïque, éclairant d'un jour nouveau un millénaire et demi d'histoire de la région, à partir de la fondation, en 395, de l'Empire romain d'Orient. Son approche citoyenne et érudite invalide les amalgames contemporains qui ne font que projeter sur la réalité moyen-orientale les propagandes de guerre des uns et des autres. Elle éclaire le cynisme avec lequel dictateurs et jihadistes défigurent le passé pour légitimer leur barbarie. Une telle histoire devient alors bien plus riche et fascinante que les caricatures dans l'air du temps. Ce livre, qui fera date, offre la première synthèse sur une aussi longue durée de l'histoire de ce "milieu des mondes", carrefour de trois continents. Il s'appuie sur un solide appareil didactique, avec vingt cartes, dix chronologies et deux index. Il vise ainsi à rendre directement accessibles l'héritage et les enjeux du Moyen-Orient. Il se conclut par une analyse de la place et des ambitions de la France dans cette région. Car cette histoire est également la nôtre, aujourd'hui peut-être plus que jamais."

This book highlights fundamental, but often neglected, issues important for a better understanding of present-day Iran. It underlines the idea that the most effective means for a nation to meet challenges and practices of the modern era lies with the fundamental values and norms that resonate with its inhabitants. This book is meant to be a companion to the author’s published book Iran Revisited: Exploring the Historical Roots of Culture, Economics, and Society that expands upon that book’s ideas, without repeating its theoretical reasoning. Its goal is to offer a better understanding of the current and evolving situations in Iran. In this regard, the author tried to clarify his position through a host of suggestions, most notably, the need to consider social rights as the bare minimum but extremely imperative criteria in our contemporary discourse for the betterment of our society. These rights, he argues, are the most fundamental tenets of any community that strives to succeed and flourish. In this context, the underlying discussion rests on the following claim: the most persisting problems in Iran are the outcomes of the gradual regression of the people’ mindset that persistently overlooked their heritage and value system in favor of imitating ideas that were/are neither compatible with their culture and history, nor applicable to the country’s socioeconomic conditions. The author, therefore, presumed that these predicaments are self-inflicted: they were neither caused by a specific state, nor belong to a historical period, or individual(s); they cannot be characterized by political or economic terminologies, but are firmly rooted in people inability to recognize that the most vital principle in developing and propelling a nation forward is the existence of a unified people. .
