Mahmoud Bina was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1938. He received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Göttingen, Germany, in 1969, and subsequently a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1973. He taught a wide range of courses in mathematics as well as philosophy of science at Isfahan University of Technology, Iran, from 1977 until his retirement in 2006. Dr. Bina and his wife live in Isfahan, Iran.

Dr. Bina, with Dr. Alireza K. Ziarani, wrote the book Philosophy of Science in the Light of the Perennial Wisdom (2020), which philosopher, author, and educator Patrick Laude has called “a refreshingly direct and crisp critique of the limitations of modern science and the pretensions of scientism.”
