Iranian Contemporary Philosophy explores the evolution of philosophical thought in Iran since the 20th century, influenced by both traditional Islamic philosophy and Western philosophical movements. Key figures include Abdolkarim Soroush, who emphasizes the compatibility of Islam with modernity, and Mohammad Iqbal, who integrates Islamic thought with existentialism. This philosophical landscape addresses issues such as identity, ethics, and the role of religion in modern society. It often critiques political and social structures, reflecting the complexities of contemporary Iranian life. The dialogue between Eastern and Western philosophies remains a significant theme in this ongoing discourse.
