Although the House of Iranian Wisdom in Vienna introduces itself as a knowledge hub for philosophical and scientific dialogue and critique, it should not be mistaken that philosophical and scientific dialogue in its broadest sense includes philosophical, mystical, historical, cultural, civilizational, and social studies. Even the philosophy of art and architecture falls within this epistemic circle.

Iran has had the wisdom of Khusrawi since ancient times, and with the arrival of Islam, it encountered Greek philosophy on a deeper level. Iranian philosophers such as Al-Farabi (known as the second), Suhrawardi, Ibn Sina, and Mulla Sadra made significant contributions to the expansion and development of metaphysical philosophy. Iranian familiarity with modern Western philosophies began in the late 19th century, leading to numerous comparative studies between Islamic-Iranian philosophies and Western philosophies. On the other hand, Austria has also been one of the most important centers of modern philosophy in the world, producing many philosophers, from Karl Popper to Ludwig Wittgenstein and Edmund Husserl. Most importantly, one of the pivotal moments in the history of philosophy and science was the Vienna Circle, which created a scientific pathway. All this indicates that Iran and Austria, each with their distinct worldviews, have led a world of philosophy and it is fitting today for these two realms to share their unique achievements.

Certainly, the growth of philosophy and science is reliant on academic freedom and neutrality, as well as the setting aside of ideological and political biases. The House of Iranian Wisdom is fully committed to scientific freedom and neutrality in its academic activities.

Books, journals, both printed and electronic, as well as podcasts, and generally audio-visual programs are the forms through which the results of the scientific activities of the House of Iranian Wisdom in Vienna are made available to audiences.

The House of Iranian Wisdom has opened its arms for collaboration with all researchers and students, regardless of nationality, religion, or ideological inclination, with the only condition being adherence to scientific ethics.
