Karim Mojtahedi Information

Dr. Karim Mojtahedi, Professor of the Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, University of Tehran 26th-grade professor, University of Tehran – Faculty of Literature and Humanities – Department of Philosophy Born in 1309 AH. Place of birth: Tabriz Education: He studied until the second grade of an elementary school in his hometown, then in Tehran, he completed the rest of the elementary courses at Ferdowsi Elementary School and high school education at “Firouzbehram” and “Alborz” College. At the age of eighteen, he went to France to continue his education and studied philosophy at the Sorbonne University in Paris, which is the most important university in France. At that time, he was the only Iranian who was able to pass the general entrance exam of “Proptodic” and in the following years, instead of the four “certificates” required to obtain a bachelor’s degree, he obtained seven “certificates”. It is as if he has achieved this degree twice. He also completed his master’s degree at the same university. The title of the treatise was “Examination of Kant’s Transcendental Analysis” under the guidance of the famous professor of Paris “Jean Wall”. After that, he returned to Iran for a short time and taught at the university of that time, and then returned to Paris to obtain a doctorate degree. His doctoral supervisor was Professor Gundiak. The treatise had the aspect of comparative philosophy and was related to Eastern philosophies. In this sense, after consulting with the late philosopher and Orientalist Professor Henry Carbone, he translated two treatises of Afzaluddin Kashani into French and in a detailed description, he also compared the thoughts of the late Neoplatonists with Islamic traditions. Some of the late Platonist thinkers are culturally considered to be truly a common boundary between Eastern and Western philosophies. In 1343, he managed to obtain his doctorate degree and returned to Iran in the same year. In Tehran, under the suggestion and guidance of the late Yahya Mahdavi, he has been teaching in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Tehran, and has continued to do the same work for more than thirty-five years until his retirement (spring 2012) until recently with fewer hours. He has also taught French literature for several courses at Tehran University’s master’s degree. Now he no longer teaches, but occasionally gives lectures in various academic and cultural centers and some domestic and foreign conferences.
