Mohammad-Taqi Ja'fari

Iranian scholar and theologian (1923–1998)

Mohammad-Taqi Ja'fari is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Mohammad-Taqi Ja'fari as Iranian scholar and theologian (1923–1998).

Mohammad-Taqi Ja'fari was born at Tabriz in 1923. His recorded nationality is Iran.

Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.

A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from Iran matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Mohammad-Taqi Ja'fari died in 1998, aged 75. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
