Interview with Iranian philosopher Ramin Jahanbegloo

My interview with the Iranian philosopher and political prisoner Ramin Jahanbegloo, currently in solitary confinement in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, from the new issue of the journal Logos. See this backgrounder for more on Ramin's fate. Also, my friend Nader Hashemi and I discussed Ramin on an Australian radio show called The Philosopher's Zone recently. You can download that program by going here. A German translation of the interview appears in the daily newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau and also in the journal Blätter für deutsche und internationale Politik, a Serbo-Croatian translation appears in the Belgrade-based review Biblioteka Alexandria, an Italian translation appears in the bimonthly Milan-based magazine Reset, a French translation appears in the Paris-based magazine Courrier international, a Hungarian translation appears in the Budapest-based journal Múlt és Jövő, and a Spanish translation appears in the Mexico City-based magazine Letras Libres. I'm told that a Russian translation is soon to appear in the Moscow-based journal Logos. Perhaps one day it will appear in Persian.
