Aramesh Dustdarborn 1931 in Iran, philosopher, author and one of the most influential thinkers in the history of modern Iran. After receiving his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Bonn, he returned to Iran and founded the philosophical school at the University of Tehran. A member of the atheist faculty, already known for his antireligious views, Dustdar became the target of radical Islamic activists when the 1979 Islamic revolution swept through Iran. Like so many other university professors, he left home to live in exile in Germany. His first manuscript »Some Philosophical Remarks on Religion and Science« was lost in the turmoil of the revolution. For the incessant thinker, this was the basic building block for the launch of his three large volumes. The first of these banned titles in Iran, »The Impossibility of Thinking in a Religious Culture«, has been fiercely debated among Iranian intel- lectuals for two decades. His latest book »An Introduction to Pseudolanguage and Pseudoculture« was published by Forough Book in 2018. 

We are very sad to announce that our author Aramesh Dustdar, philosopher and author of An Introduction to Pseudolanguage and Pseudoculture and many other very important books, passed away on Wednesday, Octobre 27th 2021 at the age of 90. 

"Thinking is only possible when there are no limits."

- Aramesh Dustdar
