Seyyed Ahmad Fardid (Persian: سید احمد فردید) (Born in 1910,[1] Yazd – 16 August 1994, Tehran), born Ahmad Mahini Yazdi,[2] was a prominent Iranian philosopher and a professor of Tehran University.
He is considered to be among the philosophical ideologues of the Islamic government of Iran which came to power in 1979, following the revolution. Fardid was under the influence of Martin Heidegger, the influential German philosopher, whom he considered "the only Western philosopher who understood the world and the only philosopher whose insights were congruent with the principles of the Islamic Republic. These two figures, Khomeini and Heidegger, helped Fardid argue his position."[3]
