About me:
Amir Mohammad Emami is a PhD candidate in Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. He holds a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a master's degree in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Tehran, Iran. His research interests include the intellectual history of the Islamicate world, particularly within the landscapes of Iran since the 17th century, and the intersections of Islamic intellectual disciplines of falsafa (philosophy), kalām (theology), and uṣūl al-fiqh (jurisprudence) with contemporary philosophy. His first publication in the field is “Tajarrī as Religious Luck,” published in Philosophy and Jurisprudence in the Islamic World (ed. Peter Adamson, Berlin: De Gruyter, 2019). He is genuinely interested in the contribution of neglected Islamic intellectual traditions to global philosophy. His PhD thesis studies the ideas of Mīrzā Mahdī Iṣfahānī (d. 1365/1946), the founder of the theosophical school of Maktab-i Maʿārif, also known as the Maktab-i Tafkīk (the School of Separation).
