 Dr. Mohsen Kadivar is a distinguished Shia Muslim thinker and one of the most original, courageous and prolific leading intellectuals of the Iranian reform movement. He reached the terminal stage of Ijtihad (permission to issue legal judgments) under the supervision of the grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri in Qom Seminary in 1997. Two years later he obtained a doctorate of Islamic Philosophy and theology from the Tarbiate Modarress University in Tehran and started a decade of teaching at the faculty of philosophy of that University. He was sentenced to spend 18 month in Evin Prison in Tehran because of his writings and was released in July 2000.

In 2007 political pressures forced Dr. Kadivar to leave his teaching appointment for a position at the Research Center of Iranian Institute of Philosophy. He was a visiting professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia (2008-2009) and currently he is a visiting professor of Religion at Duke University. This versatile theologian, philosopher and intellectual historian has written 13 books (in Persian and Arabic) and over 50 articles in Islamic Studies (Philosophy, theology, jurisprudence and political thought).
