Abstract :
The master-student interactions between the philosophical centers of Mashhad and Tehran has played a significant role in enriching the scientific and philosophical atmosphere of Iran. The migration of philosophers and philosophy-lovers between these two scientific poles has facilitated the exchange of thoughts and teaching methods and greatly contributed to the growth and development of both schools. The Mashhad School of Philosophy, with a long background in Islamic wisdom and training of prominent philosophers, has always been recognized as one of the main centers of teaching Islamic philosophy in Iran. Moreover, the presence of distinguished masters there, has turned it into an attractive destination for lovers of philosophy and wisdom. At the same time, the Tehran School of Philosophy has played a significant role in developing and disseminating Islamic philosophy because of its political and cultural status, its benefitting from great masters, and its foundation of several scientific and specialized centers. Through investigating historical sources and available documents, this study analyzed the patterns of migrations between these two schools, the master-student interactions between them, and their bilateral impact on each other. The findings of this research demonstrated that master-student interactions, as the most central form of interaction, performed a noteworthy role in transferring knowledge, developing thought, and strengthening the foundations of philosophy in Iran.
