on several projects. Several renowned thinkers such as the late Jalal-ed-Din Homaei (1900-1980), Mahmoud Shahabi (1901-1986), Abbas Zaryab (1919-1995), and Yahya Mahdavi (1908-2000) were among the members of Board of Trustees of the institute.

After the Islamic revolution, the Institute of Philosophy was among those institutions which were able to continue its activities because of its rich background. In 1981, the institute was merged with eleven other research centers, constituting the Institute of Cultural Studies and Research. These centers were included the Foundations of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the Iran Culture Foundation, the Iran art and Culture Foundation, the Iran Communication, Science, and Development Research Institute, the Research Institute of Humanities, the Iran Academy of Art and Literature, the Iran Academy of Literature, the Iran Academy of Science, the Center of Asian Cultural Documents, the Iranian Center of Historical Research and the Iranian Center for Study of Cultures.[3]

After the merger, the newly reorganized institute continued its entity in the same building within the framework of two research centers, “Philosophy and Religion” and “History and Philosophy of Science”. During this period, research activities of the institute were lessened and emphasis was placed on educational activities too. In 1997, in order to strengthen the institute's research achievements, the institute became independent from the Institute of Cultural Research and Studies and continued its activities under the new title, “The Iranian Society of Philosophy”. Since 2001, the institute has continued its activities within the framework of a totally independent Institute, with the title of “The Iranian Research Institute of Philosophy”. The institute received the authorization of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology for establishing six new research departments: Western Philosophy, Islamic Philosophy, Science Studies, Religion and Mysticism, Logics and Kalam.[3]
