Therefore, it is necessary to determine the role of the middle circles in the Jihad of explanation with the aim of realizing the statement of the second step.

Abstract Today the plurality of theories of revolution is such that the categorization and understanding of these theories has become a kind of scientific work. A conventional and common classification of revolution theories, which is rooted in sociological theories, is structural-cultural duality or structure-agent 8.
