Mission and vision

Institute of History and Philosophy of Al Taha University

Introduction

The philosophy of every civilization is the most important platform for the emergence of rationality and its thought throughout the history and the meaning of every culture depends on the mastery and originality of its intellectual foundations. In today's world, the growth and demand for globalization belongs to that culture and civilization that has rational and convincing answers when faced with the questions that are presented to it from inside and outside. Based on this, the up-to-date and efficient presentation of new scientific theories depends on the knowledge of the foundations and philosophical heritage of societies.
In the meantime, Islamic philosophy and above all Shiite wisdom, which is rooted in the Qur'an and the teachings of the infallibles, may God's prayers and peace be upon them all, is the main and most important platform for the emergence of pure Islamic thought and thought. By benefiting from this rich heritage, one can be safe from the onslaught of doubts and opposing thoughts and actively strive for the development of one's own thought and culture.
From this point of view, a group of concerned philosophy professors have decided to establish the Institute of History of Wisdom and Philosophy in Islam in order to provide the basis for compiling the history of philosophy in the Islamic world at least in two languages, Persian and English, and by creating circles of thinking and Contemplation will lead to the recognition and introduction of the rich heritage of Islamic philosophy.
