Nadir Lahiji Books

K jin Karatani's theoretical-philosophical project is explored in depth, revealing its connections to Kant's critical philosophy centered on 'architectonic reason.' This work serves as a pioneering analysis of Karatani's influential concepts, making it essential reading for those interested in the intersections of philosophy and architecture. Lahiji's insights aim to bridge the gap between these disciplines, highlighting the relevance of Karatani's ideas for both philosophical and architectural communities.

Focusing on the social responsibility of architecture, this work engages with the idea of 'generic humanity' as articulated by Alain Badiou. It addresses the challenges faced by architects and emphasizes the need for architectural practices to uphold universal values in contemporary society. This book is particularly relevant for architects, critics, scholars, and students, offering insights into how architecture can contribute to broader social issues.
