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.
