East and West
University Press of America (Verlag)
978-0-7618-6082-2 (ISBN)
This book is an analysis of an Iranian philosopher’s engagement with a British philosopher. The author compares the ideas of these philosophers within the context of European and Iranian intellectual traditions. This is the first book of its kind, as no one has yet looked at Allama Jafari’s thought in relation to Sir Bertrand Russell’s. East and West will be a useful work for anyone who is interested in comparative philosophical and sociological studies.
Seyed Javad Miri is a Swedish-Iranian associate professor of sociology and history of religions at the Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies.
