Nour Foundation

tion of the Foundation was inspired by the philosophy of the late Ostad Elahi, a contemporary thinker and jurist who devoted the whole of his life to investigating the classic existential questions of humankind: Who are we? Where have we come from? Why are we here? And where are we going? Such questions have been discussed for millennia, with as many answers and variations as there are peoples and cultures. The central objective of the Nour Foundation is to stimulate rational discourse on these existential questions from an interdisciplinary perspective that is rooted not only in sound academic theories, but in the shared commonality of our personal experience as well.
