Jason Reza Jorjani (born 1981) is an American philosopher, writer, former New Jersey Institute of Technology lecturer, and former editor-in-chief of alt-right publisher Arktos Media. He was also the founder of the AltRight Corporation and AltRight.com, which he collaborated on with alt-right leader Richard Spencer before resigning in August 2017, for the stated reasons that he wanted to commit to the Iranian Renaissance (a 501(c)(3) cultural organization)[4] and that the AltRight Corporation was a "miscarriage" and "total failure".

Biography

Jason Reza Jorjani was born and raised in Manhattan, New York, the only child of an Iranian immigrant father and a mother whose ethnicity he describes as a "Northern European mix." He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from New York University, and received a PhD in philosophy from Stony Brook University on Long Island in 2013. While serving as a full-time faculty member at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Jorjani taught courses on Science, Technology, and Society (STS), the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, and the history of Iran.

Jorjani has appeared as a guest on Jeffrey Mishlove's New Thinking Allowed for dozens of interviews on topics ranging from Persian Philosophy, Sarmatians, Gnosticism, Postmodernism, Heideggerian Philosophy, Sufism, Rudolf Steiner, and Zarathustra.

Views

Jorjani claims to not be a nationalist or racist (specifically stating that white-nationalism is a "bankrupt ideology and extremely destructive") and identifies himself as a progressive and a feminist. After resigning from AltRight, he stated that the organization was "reduced, basically, to a platform for organizing alt-right rallies attended by some very questionable individuals who I want not very much to do with" and "If I had known that this is where things would wind up, I would never had gotten involved in the first place."

He has cited Stanley Kubrick as his favorite filmmaker and Franz Kafka as his favorite literary figure. Jorjani's ideas have been described as similar to those of Dark Enlightenment philosopher Nick Land.

In 2019, Jorjani pledged his support for Tulsi Gabbard in the 2020 United States presidential election.
