Epistemology Roundtable

The Epistemology Roundtable, with the participation of Mostafa Malekian, Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah Yazdi, Gholamreza Fayyazi, Mohammad Legenhausen, and others, was held over more than one hundred sessions in the 1990s at the Imam Institute (though other professors such as Sadeq Larijani joined in later sessions). These discussions were conducted at the highest level of expertise; therefore, analyzing and understanding the issues raised may be somewhat difficult for some friends.

A transcript has been prepared for only the first 7 sessions of this series, and the remaining sessions are without transcripts.

The Imam Khomeini Institute has published a book on the sessions held, which interested friends can obtain through Address 1 or Address 2.
