The University of Tehran held a Zoom webinar in honor of Pitt's Nicholas Rescher, on April 11, 2021. 

Rescher, now 92 years old, is a German-American philosopher, polymath and author, teaching at the �鶹��ý. He is chair of the Center for Philosophy of Science and was formerly chairman of the philosophy department in the Kenneth P. Dietrich �鶹��ý of Arts and Sciences.

In the webinar, Nadia Maftouni, a prominent Iranian academic, author, artist and Yale senior research scholar hosted Rescher and talked with him about his achievements. 

Maftouni said: “Rescher’s 'A Journey through Philosophy in 101 Anecdotes' is an actually successful framework to reach a broader audience in the field. At first glance it seems easy to write. But at least in philosophy, it’s easy to write in a complicated style and it’s hard to write in a simple, clear and readable fashion.”
