Bijan Abdolkarimi (born 1963 in Tehran) (Persian: بیژن عبدالکریمی ) is an Iranian philosopher, thinker, translator and editor.[1][2][3] He is associate professor of philosophy at Islamic Azad University (North-Tehran branch).[4] His main interests are ontology, political philosophy and the critique of religious and intellectual traditions.[5] He claims to challenge the dominant ideological discourse in Iran.[6][7] He has participated in debates at Iranian universities and also in IRIB TV4 in which he has opposed the notion of Islamic humanities.[8][9] [10][11] He is also a scholar of Heidegger's thought and philosophy.[12][13] Abdolkarimi received his PhD from Aligarh Muslim University in 2001 under the supervision of Syed Abdul Sayeed for his thesis on the critique of Kantian subjectivism.[14][15]

Views

The main characteristics of Abdolkarimi's thought may be summarized as follows:

  • Abdolkarimi seeks to present a spiritual, meditative interpretation of Heidegger's thought.[16]
  • The relation between the West and East is his main issue in his philosophical thinking. He strongly criticizes any ideological, theological understanding of the West and East. He emphasizes a historical, phenomenological understanding of these two traditions.[17]
  • He has worked on the theory of the end of theology and its critical connotations. Following Gianni Vattimo, he believes that the main philosophical characteristic of our time is the destroyed ontology. Abdolkarimi interprets Vattimo's idea in this way that "our time has become metaphysic-less". But in the context of Abdolkarimi's thought, the term metaphysics is not merely in the Greek sense but includes every historical theoretical tradition.[18][19]
  • Abdolkarimi believes that the human being's future thought is a kind of nonsecular-nontheological thinking, namely a way of thinking that is in disagreement to the secular, materialistic interpretation of the world, but at the same time does not settle in any historic, theological systems.[20]
