Early life and career

Mian Mohammad Sharif was born in the suburban area of Lahore, situated in Shalimar Garden of Lahore, British Punjab, British Indian Empire, in 1893.^[2]

Sharif was educated at the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College, Aligarh and the famous Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) where he studied Philosophy. He received a BA degree in Philosophy from the Aligarh Muslim University before moving to the United Kingdom for higher education.^[3] Settled at the Cambridge, Sharif began attending the graduate school of philosophy at the Cambridge University where he completed his MA and studied for his doctoral studies under reputed English philosopher G. E. Moore.^[4]

His interest in realism and analytic philosophy under professor G. E. Moore further widened and M. M. Sharif extensively wrote on Monadism which was supervised by GE Moore as his PhD thesis which was submitted to the university. After receiving the PhD degree, his interest further shifted to Western Philosophy and he once noted "Philosophy must find a place for the sciences in the systematic whole of knowledge."^[5]

Upon returning to British India, he served as chairman of philosophy department of the Aligarh Muslim University and briefly participated in Pakistan Movement.^[3] In 1945, he was appointed as the General– President of the Indian Philosophical Congress until he moved to Lahore to accept the professorship of philosophy at the Punjab University after the 1947 partition of British India. In 1950, he founded and served as the first president of Pakistan Philosophical Congress, and remained associated with the society for the rest of his life. This organisation played a role in reviving interest in the study of modern philosophy.^[6] In addition, he also served as principal of Islamia College, Lahore and Director of the Institute of Islamic Culture based in Lahore.^[3] In 1956, he represented Pakistan in the UNESCO conference held in the United States. He was a member of the American Philosophical Association (Pacific Division) and a Director of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies, Paris. He already was the Founder-Life-President of Pakistan Philosophical Congress. Sharif died and was buried in Lahore in 1965.^[3]
