Dr. Sayed Hassan Hussaini (Akhlaq)
is a Research Fellow in the Department of World Languages & Literatures. Originally from Afghanistan, he received his PhD in 2009 from the Allameh Tabatabai University, Iran, in the field of comparative philosophy. He has been affiliated with Princeton University, George Washington University and The Catholic University of America, before which he held several academic positions in Afghanistan and Iran. He has published numerous books and articles. He is currently working on a project titled, “The History of Philosophical Ideas in Afghanistan,” a history of rational sciences and intellectual movements covering a broad but accurate spectrum of the evolution of theology, Sufism, Peripatetic philosophy, Illuminative philosophy, and modern intellectualism in Afghanistan. He is also engaged in research on three more subjects in an Islamic context: terrorism/extremism; inter and intra-faith dialogue; Sufism and philosophy. Earlier this year, his co-edited work “The Secular and the Sacred: Complementary and/or Conflictual?” was published by the Council for Research in Values & Philosophy, Washington, DC. (akhlaq@bu.edu)
