Summary/Abstract: Dr. Rezā Dāvarī Ardakānī, born in 1933, is one of the most important Iranian philosophers of the new era. He is an associate professor at the Tehran University, president of the Academy of Sciences and author of dozens of books and scientific articles. Dāvarī is a philosopher of culture and dialogue. His works on the humanistic concept of comprehension and understanding, Islamic and Western philosophy, are of utmost importance for the philosophical dialogue of modern Iran. His thought evolved on the tradition of Islamic-Iranian philosophy, and can be considered a “disciple” of Western philosophers. Therefore, he is always in search of meanings and concepts that link Western and Islamic-Iranian thought. Of particular importance is Dāvarī’s intellectual pursuit in establishing the atmosphere of civilizational-cultural dialogue in Iran. In this paper, Dāvarī’s scientific biography as well as his philosophical thought will be treated.
