Dinorshoev's studies are focused on the history of philosophical

thinking, social, political, and ethical relations among the peoples of

Tajikistan, Iran, and the Arab lands. He is one of the founders and pro-

moters of Tajik philosophy and law based on the rich heritage of the

Tajik peoples that spans the lives of philosophers from Abubakr Rozi to

Ahmad Donish. Under Dinorshoev's supervision, many young philoso-

phers have come to understand the nature of their own history and cul-

ture, and have established methodologies that echo those of their

teacher.

Dinorshoev's contributions include Filosofia Nasiriddina Tusi (The

Philosophy of Nasiriddin Tusi, 1968), Vklad Ibn Sini v mirovyu tsivili-

zatsi (Ibn Sina's Contribution to World Civilization, 1980),

Naturfilosofia Ibn Sina (Ibn Sina's Philosophy of Nature, 1985), Az

Ta'rikhi Falsafai Tojik (About the History of Tajik Philosophy, 1988),

Ibn Sina i ego mirovozzrinie (Ibn Sina and His worldview, 1991),

and Falsafa dar Ahdi Somonion ( Philosophy During the Samanid Era,

2000).

Dinorshoev is the recipient of the Order of Sharaf, and the Honorary

Order of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Tajikistan.

Dinorshoev has traveled in Germany, Hungary, Turkey, Saudi Ara-

bia, and Iran. The bulk of his travels, however, have been in the repub-

lics of the former Soviet Union.
