Pages 7-32

Zahra Fayaz Bakhsh, Ali Motahhari, Ali Larijani

Abstract The type of cognition of a school of society and history and its understanding of these two, plays a determining role in its ideology. For this reason, one of the most important topics that Ayatollah Mutahhari paid special attention to, in the final years of his life, is the issue of society and history. He believed that the human tendency to social life is originated from his/her nature (Fitrah). According to him, society has a real identity and benefits from special combination; i.e., while having a unique existence and personality and nature, its components (members) have preserved their relative independence. Ayatollah Mutahhari based on his theory of Fitrah explains individual’s freedom and authority in the society. This issue plays an effective role in explaining the desirable governance, and understanding Intrinsic and non-intrinsic duties of the government. In fact, this research demonstrates that the existence of a unique personality and nature for society has important consequences. Therefore, in this article, Ayatollah Mutahhari’s theory on this matter and its consequences has been studied.

Pages 79-99

Ali Bagheri Dolatabadi, sara Rezaei

Abstract Various works have been published on Iran's foreign policy; however, no research has been published on the martyr Beheshti's views on Iran's foreign policy. Meanwhile, the role of the martyr Beheshti in drafting the constitution and foreign policy of Iran is undeniable. So, the main question of the article is what was the martyr Beheshti's view on the future orientation of Iran's foreign policy and which orientation did he think is best? The main research hypothesis emphasizes the nonalignment. To answer the question and to test the hypothesis, the martyr Beheshti's views were adapted and applied to the three orientations of isolationism, nonalignment, and alliance mentioned by Holsti on foreign policy. Also, we surveyed neutrality as a fourth orientation in the foreign policy of states. The method used in this paper was a mixture of quantitative analysis (frequency counting of indicators related to the four orientations of foreign policy) and qualitative analysis (interpretation of findings and comparison). The research findings showed that the two orientations of isolationism and neutrality have no place in the martyr Beheshti's thoughts. Among the other two orientations, nonalignment gains the first place with 73% frequency and the alliance the second place with 27%. The important point is that martyr Beheshti has prescribed alliance not with the great powers, but for Iran's relations with Muslim countries and the Third World.

While examining the challenges in the exercise of the legislative authority of the Islamic Council, this article deals with the existence of several ambiguities in the ways out of the challenges of the exercise of the legislative authority of the Parliament, and by clarifying the dimensions of the challenges and their examples in order to get out of the legislative limitations of the Parliament and transparency.

Abstract Political education is one of the concepts that has been the concern of political thinkers for a long time. In today's world, the importance of political education is of special importance due to the fact that it is considered a part of the development process. In the present article, this question has been examined - what are the mechanisms of political education in the education system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and what effect does it have on conscious political activism? This article is descriptive and analytical, and the mentioned question has been investigated using the library method. The results indicate that one of the most important institutions in charge of education in the constitution is the Ministry of Education, which is responsible for a significant part of the political education process. But it seems that due to reasons such as the ineffectiveness of departments in the upper-level documents of the Ministry of Education, the ineffectiveness of departments in the Ministry of Education and Culture, the slogan-like support of the macro-management system, and the ineffectiveness of departments in political training schools in Iran's education system, it has not led to conscious political activism. According to the integral theoretical framework, non-rejection, acceptance of political pluralism and creation of intersubjective space and recognition of others are the most important mechanisms and requirements of political education leading to conscious action.
