Hajj Muhammad Legenhausen belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.
The record lists Hajj Muhammad Legenhausen as American philosopher.
Hajj Muhammad Legenhausen was born at New York City in 1953. His recorded nationality is United States. He studied at Rice University and State University of New York at Albany.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at Texas Southern University and Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy of religion, epistemology and ethics.
Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.
That the work was done from United States matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Hajj Muhammad Legenhausen is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
