About the Speaker
Mohsen Kadivar is a philosopher, a mujtahid (the highest degree of Islamic studies in Shi’ite seminaries), and a leading public intellectual. His criticism of the Iranian regime led to his imprisonment (1999–2000), the banning of all his publications, and finally to his exile from Iran in 2008. He is a research professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University (Durham, NC, US) since 2009. He was a visiting professor at Harvard Law School, University of Virginia, and University of North Carolina; a global ethics fellow with the Carnegie Council, research fellow with Wissenschaftskolleg (Institute for Advanced Study) in Berlin, Germany, and a fellow of National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
His interests span both classical and modern Islamic thought with a special focus on Islamic philosophy and ethics, Shiʿi theology and jurisprudence, Qurʾanic studies, Shiʿi political thought, and Islam and human rights. Author of thirty books in Persian, his recent books are /Human Rights and Reformist Islam/ and /Blasphemy and Apostasy in Islam: Debates in Shi’a Jurisprudence/ (both Edinburgh U. Press, April 2021), and his recent book-chapters are “Genealogies of Pluralism in Islamic Thought: Shi‘a Perspective” and “Toward Removing the Punishment of Apostasy in Islam” (both March 2021). His forthcoming books in late 2022 are /Governance by Guardianship: Rule and Government in the Islamic Republic of Iran/ (Cambridge University Press) and /Islamic Theocracy in the Secular Age: Revisiting Shi’ite Political Thought of Islamic Republic of Iran/ (UNC Press), and his forthcoming book-chapter is “Islam and the State from Shi’ite perspective” (early 2022).
