داریوش شایگان

Dariush Shayegan (born in 1935 in Tehran) (Persian: داریوش شایگان) is one of Iran's prominent thinkers, cultural theorists and comparative philosophers.

Shayegan studied at Sorbonne University in Paris. He was a Professor of Sanskrit and Indian religions at Tehran University.[1]

He offers the following thesis as to why the Iranian intelligentsia were uninterested in democracy in 1979. According to Shayegan, Iranian leaders profoundly rejected Westernization, even though this rejection was itself driven by Western ideas such as existentialism, antimodernism, and Marxist revolutionary ideology. Over the past twenty years, however, Iranians have become intensely aware of the importance of human rights and democracy. In Shayegan's opinion, secular democracy now seems inevitable, given the widespread rejection of revolutionary ideology and the diffusion of sentiment in favor of human rights. For Shayegan, the only remaining questions are when and by what means Iranians will decide to close the book on the Islamic Republic.

He wrote a novel "Land of Mirage" in French and it won the ADELF award presented by the Association of French Authors on December 26, 2004. According to the Persian daily Aftab, Shayegan is well known in France for his books in the field of philosophy and mystics.

Shayegan, who studied with Henry Corbin in Paris, also did many pioneering works on persian mysticism and mystic poetry. He was a founding director of the Iranian Center for the Studies of Civilizations. In 1977, Shayegan initiated an international symposium on the "dialogue between civilizations," a concept that has been eˆectively appropriated by the Iranian President Mohammad Khatami.[2]

Many thaks for the updating!

However, I must say I am more interested in the buddha statue sitting on the end table in Mr. Shayegan 's room than anything else. Why? Because when you hear the name Budha in Frasi (Bodow) it echos an astounding sound urging to prompt into the action:

Run!

Run to dismantle the Islamic Republic!

عکس بسیار زیبایی است. اما قفلی رو باز نکردی! دیدن ایشان، تمام و کمال روی دل آدم می‌ماند.

رش الهی فدای اون سلیقه و هنر ناب ات بشم.

استاد شایگان هر چند بیشتر با زبان فرانسه مانوس هستند و کمی به دوستدارانشان در زبان فارسی کم لطف هستند ، ولی انسان بسیار دوست داشتنی و بزرگی هستند.

تنها گله همان زبان استکه باعث میشود کمتر بتوان با آرا و نظریات ایشان آشنا شد.

در سرزمین سراب ها جایی کاوه میگوید :

من از جهانی آمده‌ام که ناکجاست و هيچ چيز در جای خود نيست

و به نظرم این نظر خود استاد نیز هست.

از قول ما این عزیزان را ببوس آرش جان......

Some food for thought...

1. Explain why the persians write from the right to left where as the English and the Americans and the French and the Spanish and the Portugese write from left to right.

2. Explain why when it comes to number everybody set tehir differences aside and start writing from left to write.

3. Explain why in persian the number of dots corresponds to the value of the following numbers only: 5(.....), and 6 (......) when these numbers written in persian alpha bet.

And finally why not jack up the oil price to the following number when I become the Emperor...

More food for thought (beware of over eating)

1. Explain why in Farsi the only numbers that their value correspond to the number of letters used in writing them is limited to only : 2 and 4.

2. Explain why in English the only number that has this same charactristics is: 4

3. Explain why number 4 has this unique feature both in english and in farsi despite all the world of differences between their way of lies and lying...

روز 10 اکتبر(18 مهر)امسال,مجمع عمومی سازمان ملل قرار است طی قطعنامه ای از همه ی دولت ها بخواهد که مجازات اعدام را به حال تعلیق درآورند.
با توجه به انحصار رسانه ها,امکان اطلاع رسانی در مورد این روز در سطح عمومی بسیار کم است .در همین راستا،ما،گروهی از دانشجویان دانشگاه تبریز،بر آن شدیم تا با همكاري وبلاگ نويسان و همه ي آزادانديشان ، سكوت در برابر اين اعمال غيرانساني را محكوم كنيم.براي گسترش اين حرکت جمعی دوستان خود را براي نوشتن در اين باره(تاييد يا عدم تاييد لغو اعدام و سنگسار) دعوت نمایید.لینک مطالب خود را در قسمت نظرات وبلاگ حق حيات قرار دهید تا درج شود.

Explain how many dots exist in the following Persian foklore saying:

Koshtam shepeshe shepeshkoshe shesh paa raa

Who ever comes up with right answer or compose a similar satement with more dots will win a tiny portable transitor radio so small that can be inserted in on'es rear end for listening while jogging....

Test in Progress

That
Who has
No country
Nor any religion
Will surely be doomed
And that who has at least
One of the two
Will be moon
To have both
Surely is
Hording
Too
Much
Must
Give up something
To the one that is doomed
