Pages 7-24

alireza salehi, mostafa abtahi, abolghasem taheri

Abstract The different viewpoints of the jurists of the constitutional era, regarding the nature of the government during the absence and the difference in their starting point from the basic principle of the inadmissibility of forming a government, caused a difference in the way the government was formed. This article is in response to the question that the approach of these jurists about the nature of government had an effect on the process of formation of constitutional monarchy. Using the descriptive-analytical method in the framework of interpretive historical sociology studies, the article believes: the lack of theoretical coherence of the jurists of the constitutional era in the face of the constitutional monarchy, gradually created boundaries in the society; In such a way that some considered the establishment of new institutions to be against the Shariah standards and to fight against it, and some believed that the preservation of the foundations of Islam depended on the establishment of such institutions. According to the findings of this research, the sanctification of political behavior under Sharia titles led the society towards social, political and legal gaps and gave a stable state to the created gaps. A situation that caused the removal of platforms for peaceful dialogue between the two groups of supporters and opponents and created disruptions in the process of institutionalizing constitutional monarchy as one of the indicators of the rule of law and overshadowed the process of political development in contemporary Iran.

Abstract Religious politics is one of the categories that has long been investigated in nations, especially Iran. In this connection, some argue that for politics to be on the proper path, it should follow religious teachings. This article investigates the criteria of religious politics from the perspective of Ayatollah Khamenei. The main question is: Which criteria are used to characterize religious politics from the view of Ayatollah Khamenei? Here, politics appears to follow such religious teachings as justice, laws, freedom, and popular choices to take steps into the proper path. We also investigate religious politics within the framework of ontological, cognitive, and humane foundations and thus examine the criteria of religious politics accordingly. This article uses content analysis to explore the thinking vision of Ayatollah Khamenei in the area of religious politics and its criteria. Content analysis is used for observational and document-based-historical research, which falls under quantitative research in terms of what it means to be. Throughout the research, we found that if the mechanisms of the political institution are aligned with religious teachings, a desirable society appears that fulfills divine ideals, thereby laying the ground for the prosperity and development of the nation in all domains. People of this society will also achieve their ideals and fulfill true prosperity and development.

Abstract One of the rational foundations of jurisprudence that Imam Khomeini highlighted in his political discourse was expediency. Imam Khomeini paid attention to the fact that for the continuation of the political system in the Islamic Republic, it is vital to pay attention to the interests of the political system and society. Therefore, facing new political challenges and conditions opened the way for the use of the element of expediency, in which "public good" played a prominent and special role. The evolution of the category of expediency, which was accompanied by the rulings of Imam Khomeini, was to open political and social knots that had become "problems". Therefore, in the revision of the constitution, solving the problems of the system is one of the consultative matters that the Expediency Council He gives a leader who can solve them by securing the interests of the country and society. The sign of expediency, in the discourse of the Islamic Republic, which is the continuation of the discourse of political jurisprudence, is closely related to reason and rationality. This article clarifies that the formation of expediency was precisely based on the issue of legislation in the Islamic Republic. This issue is directly based on the relationship between Sharia and law.

Abstract
Postmodernism is one of the most important and influential movements of the last few decades in many disciplines and fields of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communication sciences, fashion and technology. After the Islamic revolution, due to the changes that took place in the social, cultural and political fields, many stories were written based on postmodernism that one of their main characteristics is the non-linear and disjointed narrative. While doubting the patterns of the past decades, contemporary writers sought to find new ways of writing their works. Reza Ghasemi is also one of the prominent writers after the revolution in the field of fiction writing, and the most important feature of his works is the use of a special type of narration that has had a great impact on other elements of his stories. The purpose of this research, which was written based on a descriptive and analytical method, is to investigate the characteristics of narration in postmodernist stories and the effect of the narrator's narration on the process of events in Ghasemi's stories. Also, an attempt was made to reveal and decipher some ambiguities by analyzing the ambiguous elements of the novel. This research shows that it is difficult and impossible to understand these stories without knowing the characteristics of the narrator.

The Islamic revolution and the regeneration of the Jihadi man

Pages 131-146

gholamali soleimani

Abstract مسئله «ماهیت انسان» نقطه شروع بسیاری از مباحث نظری و فلسفی است. در مطالعات انسان شناختی می‌توان از دو گونه متفاوت از انسان آرمانی یعنی «انسان اقتصادی» و «انسان جهادی» سخن گفت. در انسان اقتصادی به طور کلی انسان؛ بازیگری خردمند، منفعت‌جو، خودپرست، بهینه خواه، محاسبه‌گر و هدف محور تلقی می‌شود. به تاسی از اقتصادانان مکتب کلاسیک که نقش پررنگی در صورتبندی انسان اقتصادی داشتند، اصل سودمندی و اصالت نفع شخصی مبنای کنش و رفتار انسان دانسته می‌شود و اینکه انسان‌ها به‌ طور طبیعی در جستجوی تمتّع بیشتر با کوشش کمتر هستند.

در حالیکه انسان اقتصادی مدعی توصیفی واقعی، عینی و جهانشمول از انسان است و فراتر از این حتی نیات همنوع‌خواهانه، خیرخواهانه و یاریگرانه را نیز از منظر نفع شخصی توضیح می‌دهد، به نظر می‌رسد کلان روایت انسان اقتصادی قادر به توضیح رفتار انسان در همه زمان‌ها و مکان‌ها نیست و با رفتار واقعی انسان فاصله زیادی دارد. برخلاف چنین مفروضاتی با گونه‌ای دیگر از انسان مواجه هستیم که همنوع‌خواهی، ایثار، حق‌طلبی، از خودگذشتگی، خیرخواهی، انصاف، حق‌شناسی، غمخواری، اخلاق‌مداری، معنویت‌گرایی، تکلیف‌گرایی و رضایتمندی الهی از ویژگی‌های او محسوب می‌شود. با عنایت به این مساله پژوهش پیش‌رو در تلاش است با بهره‌گیری از روش مقایسه‌ای، ضمن به چالش کشیدن مفروضات انسان اقتصادی، بر ناتوانی این مدل آرمانی در فهم ماهیت پیچیده انسان صحه گذاشته و زمینه را برای طرح مدل آرمانی انسان جهادی فراهم کند. انقلاب اسلامی را می‌توان دمیدن روح متفاوتی به کلان روایت انسان اقتصادی و ظهور و بروز انسان جهادی دانست.

Pages 147-170

Asghar Alemian, Masoud Raei, Gholamhossein Masoud

Abstract The Islamic Revolution is a public-Islamic movement that follows important goals for the progress of man and society. The tendency toward class discrimination can challenge the entity of some supreme purposes of the Islamic Republic. The inclination to luxury orientation among some layers of authorities can demonstrate a type of non-Alavi ruling and the non-divine and non-popular policy of this behavior style can create some problems for the realization of the Islamic Revolution’s objectives. The present study aims to recognize the harms of the tendency toward class discrimination using a descriptive-analytical method and reviewing the available opinions. Provision of a specific definition of aristocracy and exploration of a way to obviate and avoid this defect through a public culturalization and development of the public and media supervision as well as the infusing the element of simple lifestyle as one of the main components to get any position in the Islamic Republic, are among the objectives of the present study. The weak performance of the responsible institutions, such as the legislature, the executive, the judiciary, and the governing institutions, as well as the involvement of influential people and political factions in fighting against class discrimination, and mere reliance on speeches, are among the most important causes of the growth of class discrimination in the Islamic Republic.

Sayyed Mohammad Reza Marandi, fateme safdari

Abstract The findings of the research indicate that Ayatollah Beheshti believed in a system called ummah and imamate, whose leadership is the responsibility of the innocent in the age of presence and the guardian of the jurist in the age of absence. But a jurist in the age of occultation must be accepted by the Ummah in addition to having the conditions mentioned in the Shari'i texts. ]n order to verify the management ability, courage, resourcefulness and awareness of the current conditions, there is a need to appeal to an expert in the aforementioned matters to recognize that this goal is achieved with two-level elections. According to Ayatollah Beheshti, the legitimacy of the ruling of the jurisprudence in the age of absenteeism is based on the selection theory of the province, according to which, in order to achieve legitimacy in leadership, in addition to the existence of jurisprudence and justice as the right of Allah in him, it is also necessary to accept the people as the right of people. These two conditions are necessary in addition to the acceptance of the people, and in the absence of any one of them, the legitimacy of the political system will not be completed. The mentioned article was written based on the analytical descriptive method and the library method was used to collect its information.
