Draft:Hossein Sheikhaleslami

Hossein Sheikholeslami (born 1982 in Tehran) is a critic, writer, translator, and cultural entrepreneur with numerous authored works, translations, and articles in the fields of humanities, children's and young adult literature, the digital world, animation, virtual reality (VR), and philosophy and art. Born in Tehran, he completed his high school and pre-university education in humanities at Farhang High School in 2000. Sheikholeslami continued his undergraduate studies in Persian Language and Literature at the University of Tehran until 2005. He then pursued his master's degree in Philosophy, a subject of his enduring interest alongside literature, and presented his thesis titled "The Structure of Meaning: A Philosophical Possibility of a Third Meaningful State of Text (Focusing on the Thoughts of Ricoeur and Genette)" to the Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch in 2009.

In 2010, Sheikholeslami was accepted into the doctoral program in Philosophy at Allameh Tabataba'i University but withdrew due to a disagreement with the university over his thesis topic, which proposed to continue his master's thesis and examine the third state of meaningfulness based on Ricoeur's ideas. His lifelong passion for literature, philosophy, and art, particularly for children and adolescents, is evident in the significant number of articles, books, and translations he has produced in these areas. In 2006, Sheikh alaeslami founded the Continuous Thought Cultural Services Institute, and in 2011, he established the Purple Pencil Cultural Services Institute in collaboration with Mehdi Shariatmadari and Hadith Lazarghalami. Since 2023, he has been active as a co-founder and chairman of the board at Silksea Art Agency.

Sheikholeslami's consistent inclination towards innovation in the humanities, art, and children's education has been further realized through the recent use of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies.
