DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism invites you to 
 the launch of Ramin Jahanbegloo's book\, “Time Will Say Nothing: A Philoso
 pher Survives an Iranian Prison”\, published by University of Regina Press
  in October 2014. Professor Payam Akhavan and Mr. Jahanbegloo will have a 
 conversation about the book\, followed by a Q&A with the audience.\nAbout 
 the Book\nSorbonne-educated and the author of almost 30 books\, Ramin Jaha
 nbegloo\, a philosopher of non-violence in the tradition of Tolstoy and Ga
 ndhi\, was arrested and detained in Iran’s notorious Evin prison in 2006.
 \nA petition against his imprisonment was initiated\, with Umberto Eco\, J
 urgen Habermas\, and Noam Chomsky among the signatories. International org
 anizations joined in\, and media around the world reported his case extens
 ively. Finally\, after four months\, he was released.\nIn this memoir Jaha
 nbegloo recounts his confinement\, his fear for his life\, and his concern
  for the well-being of his family. With cockroaches his only companions\, 
 he is sustained by the wisdom of the great philosophers and by his memorie
 s of childhood in Tehran and coming-of-age in Paris.\nNow exiled to Canada
 \, Jahanbegloo wryly observes that he 'traded the danger and violence of a
 n Iranian prison for the mediocrity and hypocrisy of a late capitalist soc
 iety' and finds himself struggling yet again – this time against banality 
 – in his continued quest for freedom.\nAbout the Author\nRamin Jahanbegloo
  is a well-known Iranian-Canadian philosopher. He received his B.A. and M.
 A. in Philosophy\, History and Political Science and later his Ph.D. in Ph
 ilosophy from the Sorbonne University. He has been a researcher at the Fre
 nch Institute for Iranian Studies and a fellow at the Center for Middle Ea

 emocracy at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in New Delhi\
 , India. He is presently a Professor of Political Science and a Research F
 ellow in the Centre for Ethics at University of Toronto and a board member
  of PEN Canada. \nIn October 2009 Jahanbegloo became the winner of the Pea
