Abstract The place and role of reason in the Quran plays a vital role in understanding Islam’s relationship with modernity and postmodernism. The reason for this is that in many accounts, modernity involves the spread of rationalism in all spheres of life, and the main concern of postmodernism is to deconstruct the assumptions and promises of instrumental reason. This has serious implications for the epistemological relationship between Islam and postmodernism, as well as the postmodern situation as it manifests itself in the socio-political sphere. The main question and focus of this research is the effects of postmodernism on the critical attitude of later Iranian thinkers. Relying on the explanatory method, it can be said that as far as the denial of all major narratives by postmodernists is concerned, the oneness of God and the legitimacy of His religion, His prophets, and His revelation are proclaimed. Therefore, apart from the Holy Quran and the authentic collections of the Prophet's (PBUH) hadiths, two sources whose truth and certainty are established and known without any doubt, a large part of the rest of the great body of Islamic literature based on human thought/interpretations can be subjected to the scrutiny and scrutiny of deconstruction and/or other textual analyses within a broader philosophical and biographical framework using anthropology, psychology, sociology, historicism, etc. e. The intellectual challenges posed by postmodernism in the form of colonialism, evolutionism, rationalism, empiricism, existentialism, agnosticism, individualism, secularism, capitalism, humanism, nihilism, deconstruction and the like can only be answered intellectually and philosophically.

Abstract Understanding historical events is very complicated. These events are faced with different readings after they happen. Philosophical approaches have come to the aid of history enthusiasts to solve this problem. Among the numerous events of the contemporary Iranian society, the event of the 6th of Bahman 1360 in the city of Amol should be considered one of the important events in the history of the revolution, which, ironically, has been narrated exactly at the "what" level with various descriptions. In this research, an attempt has been made to investigate the nature of this event by using hermeneutic teachings. Based on the findings of this research, the epic-type narration of this movement has more credibility for various reasons. Based on the findings of the research from the text of the event, which has naturally undergone multiple official and unofficial narratives, topics such as "the unfavorable position of the leftist movements among the people of Mazandaran and Amol in that period of time", "the widespread involvement of the country in the imposed war", "the favorable position of the Imam" As the leader of the Islamic Republic among the people of Mazandaran province and Amol city, in the context of the mentioned incident, it strengthens the possibility of the authenticity of the epic narration of this event.
