TY - JOUR T1 - Philosophy, Art and Critique: A (short) conversation with the “other” TT - فلسفه، هنر و نقد: گفتگویی کوتاه با «دیگری» JF - kimiahonar JO - kimiahonar VL - 4 IS - 17 UR - http://kimiahonar.ir/article-1-599-en.html Y1 - 2015 SP - 98 EP - 108 KW - Philosophy KW - art KW - critical theory KW - Ibn Sina KW - Khayyam KW - Adorno KW - Global Thought KW - Comparative Philosophies N2 - The article sketches a nexus between philosophy, art (poetry) and critique with a particular emphasis on the contribution of classical Muslim philosophers. At the same time, it demonstrates how luminaries such as Omar Khayyam and Ibn Sina, contributed to the renewal of philosophy as a freedom seeking exercise and as a means to pursue happiness through knowledge. In the second part of the article this discussion is geographically de-located to include critical theories from mainland Europe. The conclusion focuses on the comparability of these contemporary critical theories with the philosophies of the “east”. M3 ER -
