About this person
Gholam-Hossein Ebrahimi Dinani was born on December 26, 1934, in Isfahan, Iran. He is a prominent Iranian philosopher, widely recognized for his research and writings on illuminationism and the works of Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi. A three-time recipient of the Book of the Year award in Iran, Dinani holds the title of professor emeritus at the University of Tehran and also lectures at Tarbiat Modares University and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. His public lectures at the Institute for Research in Philosophy draw a diverse audience, including students and scholars of theology and philosophy. Dinani is a philosopher with a distinctive perspective and profound expertise in both Eastern and Western philosophy, viewing the world through the lens of an Islamic philosopher. He does not categorize Western and Eastern philosophers based on geography or religion; instead, he ultimately divides them into two groups: the Ash'arites and the Mu'tazilites. While his views as an Islamic philosopher are significantly influenced by figures such as Ibn Sina, Mulla Sadra, and Suhrawardi, he has also introduced many original theories to the field of philosophy.
