In 2005 an academic scandal related to Ali Paya was revealed. Jahanbin wrote an article in an Iranian journal (Nagh o Nazar) and considered Paya'a Book "Analytic Philosophy" and indicated that Paya had plagiarized from "A History of Philosophy, From Bolzano to Wittgenstein, Oxford University Press, 1984" in several occasions. In response Paya mentioned that he has mentioned this book in the bibliography although he did not mention why he did not use quotations or the name of the author in many different parts he had used this source and instead claimed that this is an international standard. He also blamed the type writer.[1] This was the first high profile plagiarism in Iranian Academia.
