«قانون‌مدار» یا «قاعده‌مدار» بودن عرصهٔ اجتماعى، یکى از مسائل بنیادى جامعهشناسى است که توجه بسیارى از متفکران کلاسیک، از جمله وبر و دورکیم و مارکس و نیز نظریه‌پردازان معاصر نظیر هابرماس و گیدنز و باسکار را به خود، مشغول کرده است. نوع مواضع اتخاذشده، در قبال این موضوع دوگانه، تبعات زیادى براى صورتبندى و تفکر اجتماعى و بالتبع، تغییرات اجتماعى به‌دنبال داشته است؛ چه آنکه پذیرش هریک از این شقوق، «چیستى» (هستی‌شناسى) پدیده‌هاى اجتماعى را به‌گونه‌اى خاص تصویر می‌کند. دیگر آنکه، از آن مسیر، بر معرفت‌شناسى و روش‌شناسى جامعه‌شناختى و نیز بر موضوعاتى نظیر میزان عاملیت و کنشگرى انسان و امکانات تغییر اجتماعى تأثیر می‌گذارد. اگرچه این بحث، در ادبیات موجود علوم اجتماعى، با تأملات اصحاب هرمنوتیک و تاریخ‌گرایان آلمانى و دردوران اخیر، با آرى آراء ویتگنشتاین دوم، و به‌صورت خاص به‌ویژه با نظریات پیتر وینچ گسترش یافته است، .اما در ایران، نیز، از خلال تأملات فلسفى علامه محمدحسین طباطبایى، نیز می‌توان این بحث را پیگیرى نمود و با ادبیات موجود در این زمینه مقایسه نمود کرد. در مقالۀ حاضر، برخى آثار علامه طباطبایى درزمینۀ چیستى پدیده‌هاى اجتماعى را بررسى می‌کنیم. همچنین، نوع نگاه و نظام استدلالى علامه طباطبایى دربارهٔ موضوع قاعده‌مدارى و قانون‌مدارى در عرصهٔ اجتماعى را در افق مباحث جدید جامعهشناسى، مشخصمى‌کنیم؛ سپس نشان می‌دهیم که این نظریات چه تبعاتى براى علوم اجتماعى به‌همراه خواهد داشت. روش کاربردى، در این پژوهش، مطالعهٔ کتابخانه‌اى و تحلیل درون‌متنى است. طباطبایى «اجتماعیات» را جزئى از «اعتباریات» دانسته و بر این اساس، عرصۀ اجتماعى را قاعده‌مدار می‌داند و علوم اجتماعى را به «دلیل‌کاوى» رهنمون می‌سازد؛ اما تمام موضوعات و مسائل علوم اجتماعى و جامعهشناسى را به «قاعده‌کاوى» تقلیل نمی‌دهد. او معتقد است اعتباریات، ازسویى، ریشه در «حقیقیات» دارد و لذا با علوم اجتماعى می‌توان بسترهاى حقیقى در شکل‌گیرى اعتباریات اجتماعى را به روش «علت‌کاوانه» بررسى کرد. ازسوى دیگر، این اعتباریات طى مکانیزمى علی آثار حقیقی به دنبال دارد که باز هم به کمک علوم اجتماعى، بررسى علت‌کاوانۀ آن ممکن است. بر این مبنا، طباطبایى تصویرى توأمان قاعده‌مدار و قانون‌مدار از علوم اجتماعى ارائه می‌دهد که در دوران معاصر، در آراء برخى متفکران نیز صورتبندى شده است.

Cosmopolitanism is one of the most significant issues in Western political thought during the classical, modern, and contemporary periods, and it has serious adherents as one of the approaches to globalization today. In contrast to globalization, the ideal of cosmopolitan thought is the development of universal moral models or the establishment of global political institutions to establish a global governance. Although globalization is one of the new topics that was extensively studied in the 1990s and after Ayatollah Motahhari’s martyrdom, and therefore there is no direct reference to it in his works, his thought has a strong capacity to process a theory about the world. According to Ayatollah Motahari, because human societies have a single substance, they can also have a single form; thus, it is possible to establish a “human and monotheistic society.” This article explains the origins of the world from the perspective of Ayatollah Motahhari through a combination of description and analysis. According to Ayatollah Motahhari, the three foundations of worldview are anthropological, sociological, and cosmological. The anthropological foundation is analyzed based on human nature and evolution, the sociological foundation is analyzed based on the independent existence of society and the legitimacy of society, and the cosmological foundation is analyzed based on world unity and world membership. In two respects, Ayatollah Motahari’s perspective differs from other perspectives on the patriotic world: a. introducing some new fundamentals; B. providing a new account of some common ground for the global community. Because some Western thinkers have urged Muslims to study the intellectual legacy of Western philosophers in order to keep up with global trends, the study of the world based on the perspectives of Muslim thinkers is necessary. By explaining the foundations of cosmopolitanism in this article and proposing to investigate the effects and consequences of cosmopolitanism from his perspective, he lays the groundwork for proposing a theory about cosmopolitanism based on Ayatollah Motahhari’s views.

The researches carried out in the field of "Science Policy" sometimes have an experimental method and have explored and reported the relationship between variables. Sometimes they have a theoretical method and based on intellectual foundations, they have given answers to questions in the field of science policy. In the meantime, the examination of Islamic thought regarding science is a subject that requires scientific analysis. Islamic thought, while emphasizing a lot on science, has a special view on it. Therefore, the basic problem is, how is science formulated in Islamic thought? To be the basis of science policy in the country. In this research, based on the opinions of three thinkers (Imam Khomeini, Martyr Motahari and Ayatollah Khamenei) and using the method of thematic analysis with inductive-deductive approach, First, it was tried to formulate the views of each of these thinkers, and finally, through their collective reading, an Islamic formulation of science was obtained. Presenting the same epistemological view of science, Multi-level knowing it, Emphasizing the independence, self-sufficiency and Creating authority of science as the goal of science, which leads to the drawing of "intellectual and scientific reference", "strong economic system" and "honorable social political system" as the dimensions of science in social life, Gender free in science education, considering science to be noble and not handing it over completely to market relations, and holding the religious government responsible for science, emphasizing the ethics of science and promoting the duality of education and Self-purification, and finally believing in maximum communication in scientific relationships and science placeless, There are some concepts and common points of thinkers who have created the Islamic formulation of science.

"Islamization of Knowledge" is a term most often used to describe Muslim scholars' effort in De-westernization of knowledge in order to develop new paradigms of thought and knowledge according to the Islamic doctrine in different disciplines. In the last five decades, Islamization of knowledge can be traced back to the works of Seyyed Hossein Nasr (1968), Al-Attas (1982), Al-Faruqi (1982), and Allame Sardar (1985). However, even though there are such great efforts in the pathway of Islamization of knowledge, little attention has been paid to developing a comprehensive meta-theoretical framework that can be considered as an alternative to its Western counterpart. New paradigms of knowledge should be conceptualized in the framework of Meta-theory. Accordingly, to advance Islamization, Muslims scholars need a meta-theoretical framework to address the ontological, epistemological and methodological questions related to their supported Islamic Paradigm. Having a review of the Western framework of meta-theory and its ontological, epistemological and methodical aspects, the purpose of this article is to propose a tentative meta-theoretical framework, hopping to be less speculative and more analytically useful than what we have had so far.

All sociologists in some way deal with two concepts of individualism and society, or social structure and human action. Accordingly, linking the two concepts, each sociologist prefers one to the other or establishes a relationship between them. As a Muslim thinker, Ali Shariati has been influenced by Islamic teachings, and the atmosphere of Islamic culture and Shia had profound effects on his method of thinking .He neither focuses solely on individualism and human agency in his subjects, nor considers society and social structure as unique factors in this aspect .He neither focuses solely on individualism and human agency in his subjects, nor considers society and social structure as unique factors in this aspect. Instead, he assumes an interaction and believes both factors of individual and society play role in knowing subjects and issues. In this paper, in order to know Shariati's approach to the issue, we will use Morteza Motahhari's perspective to examine the Shariati's approach to the subject. For this purpose, documentary research method has been used.

From Bourdieu perspective, Action intercede between The objective structures of society and actors subjective structures because their deeds are the main form of recognition. In contrast, Motahari calls,of society and nature, as internal and external sources of s knowledge which in a real organic relationship causes the production and transformation of knowledge.

Abu Nasr al-Farabi, as the founder of Islamic philosophy, emphasizing on Islamic teachings, attempted to re-read and revolutionize Greek sciences. Farabi's civil science, keeping harmony with the Islamic culture, is a result of this scientific endeavor. This article tries to explain this attempt using a fundamental methodology. Fundamental methodology explains how scientific theories articulated considering three theoretical dimensions including logical-epistemological, existential-social, and the impact of fundamental cultural interactions on the formation of a theory. In the third dimension, when a culture encounters with another one actively, the elements of the second culture are re-read on the base of fundamental elements of the first one. In the process of revision and reviewing, some elements of the second culture can be accepted and some others will be rejected. As a result, we witness a case of reconciliation of indigenous and exogenous cultures. Based on Farabi's civil science, fundamental elements of Islamic culture, formed by Rasoul (Prophet) and Greek political philosophy can be interpreted by means of a connection to active intellect (aqle fa`al).

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the indicators of the Iranian-Islamic model of development from Ayatollah Khamenei's perspective. It is attempted not to have any predisposition or hypothesis in advance. The research findings are based on an analysis of the supreme leader's statements, views and discussions on the Islamic-Iranian pattern of development. Our findings indicate that there are several factors contributing to the necessity of suggesting an Islamic-Iranian model of development. These factors are the inefficiencies of Western patterns of development (being one-dimensional concept, non-religious as well as the priority of worldly goals), the significance of providing indigenous and independent definition of development (not following Western patterns and theories of development sightlessly, taking out theoretical foundations and methods of realizing the needed pattern from Islamic sources, localizing experiences and achievements of other nations' theories and patterns, and planning in accordance with the cultural and historical features of Iran), and formulating a pattern based on indicators and principles of Islam (Monotheism, Resurrection, not separating this world and the other world, Islamic view on human development, government, justice and immaterial look at the economy).

Investigating the concept of "pure Islam" in the thought of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah KhameneiThe pure Islam in the intellectual system of the revolution leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is a fundamental concept and all references and arguments are based on pure Islam. In this article, by examining the most important references in leader lectures and works before the revolution, efforts have been made to examine the concept of pure Islam and its dimensions. The method used in this research is content analysis. According to the results of the research, pure Islam pays attention to all aspects of human life and, in addition to the individual's dimension, it is important to consider social and political dimensions. Therefore, religion is not isolated from politics, and due to the attention given to this dimension by Imam Khomeini, the Islamic revolution was formed and the theory of democracy and Velayat-e faqih was introduced. The struggle against oppression, the importance of reasoning, the protection of the oppressed and the importance of sacrifice and jihad, the practical faith are essential features of pure Islam, and on the other hand, American Islam influenced by intellectual and intellectual thinking, supports wrongdoers, is ignorant of Worldly life and has an individualistic approach.

According to classical anthropologists and historical sociologists, the formation of political systems is related to an early social phenomenon that has existed in all societies as a seed. Accordingly, the sociological understanding of the concept of culture gives a special direction to the analysis of political systems, and first of all, it requires the clarification of cultural symbols, i.e. the same semantic systems that are integrated within society. The present article is an attempt to get acquainted with the ideas of Bertrand Badie and Abu Hamed Mohammad Ghazali and to compare the views of these two theoretician on the foundations and socio-cultural characteristics of the Islamic political system. This article uses a comparative method to examine Bertrand Badie and Ghazali's approach. Based on the data obtained, which are mainly from first-hand sources and some analyzes of other theoretician on the proposed theories, Bertrand Badi'd's cultural analysis of political systems is largely consistent with Imam Mohammad Ghazali's theory of the Islamic political system. In some cases, there are differences.

problem statement: temperament and Nature plays an important role in human happiness and misery. temperament is related to the divine spirit, which, if not contaminated with sin, makes human successful and paves the way to God. But nature is related to the physical dimension of human, which, if it overcomes the spiritual dimension, leads human to a downward course. This study aims to investigate the role of temperament and nature in the ascending and descending course of human and has answered the question that from Imam Khomeini's point of view, what is the role of temperament and nature in the ascending and descending of human status? Methodology: The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical. Using the method of documentary study and referring to the mystical and moral works of Imam Khomeini, first the concept of temperament and its types are clarified and then Imam's view on human temperament and nature and effective factors and obstacles. It has been studied and explained in its ascending and descending course. Results and Discussion: From Imam Khomeini's point of view, the most important factor in the ascendancy of the soul, which originates from the pure human temperament, is awakening, which prevents human from doing evil things. On the contrary, negligence causes one to drown in sin. Another condition for the ascendant of the soul is contemplation and remembrance of the blessings that God has given to human. Another house for the ascendant of human is the decision to forsake sins and perform duties. After the stage of thinking and determination, it is calculation, meditation and meditation. Imam believes that when a person pollutes the light of temperament with the darkness of nature by committing sins, he must repent. Neglect of one's original temperament, forgetfulness of the soul, disregard for God's lofty goals in the creation of human and selfishness, are among the things that weaken the power of reason and human temperament and cause human to fall. Imam Khomeini considers the source of all errors to be self-love, worldly love and evil temptations that are effective in the downward course of human. Conclusion: From Imam Khomeini's point of view, committing sins due to human attention to the natural world causes darkness, turbidity of the heart and extinguishes the light of temperament, and one of the most important ways to prevent the darkness of the heart is waking up from negligence and repentance.

Imam Khomeini was the leader of the Islamic revolution in 1979. In the discoursive context of the historical encounter of the modernists and the religious with Sunnah (Tradition), Imam Khomeini established and invigorated the orientation of "Sunnah Revival" going beyond the orientations of "Refusal of Sunnah" and "Return to Sunnah" on the one hand, and "Repetition of Sunnah" on the other hand. Also, he went beyond the developmental dualism of "Tradition-Modernity" and with "Positive ignorance" of the West, pursued the logic of internal criticism of sunnah. Imam Khomeini as a religious man (either in the leadership position of a great political-social revolution or in the position of an ordinary person in daily life) acted in the multiplexed context of Sunnah. This context comprises "religious tradition" and "life tradition". The former is dividable into "Divine-genetic tradition (SUNNAT-ALLAH)" and "Juridical-legislative tradition (FIQH)" and the latter is dividable into "the Muslim life tradition" (with subdivisions of "historical tradition of the beginning of Islamic era" and "the Muslim social tradition") and " the non-Muslim life tradition" (with subdivisions of "archaic tradition and pre-Islamic religions" and "the Arrogants tradition (MUSTAKBERIN)" ). Such various conceptions of Sunnah permit him to consider modernity not as a self-determining matter but as a variety of life tradition and to overcome the consequent problems of theoretical and practical involvement with modernity. By this multiplexed conceptions, Furthermore, he is able to criticize and reconstruct some aspects of Sunnah with reliance to the other aspects asymmetrically.

AbstractIn this study the main goal is explain the achievements of development after the revolution as a unique and special phenomenon as “various local development” based on the specific realities of Iranian society. For this purpose have been used of analytical and concept framework Weber’s sociology in explaining the qualitative transformation. According to this model, in creating evolution is important both condition and factors; although it is more important preparation agents unto Weber. For Weber one of the most important factors in preparing agents in conformity with rational behavior is magical-religious force and a sense of duty based on them. The hypothesis of the present study was designed based on this approach Weber and given to the peculiarities of Iran.By studying research hypothesis through qualitative methods with respect to the adequacy of meaning and casual in the reconstruction of examples and establishing sociology causal relationship between them turned out between the doctrines of political jurisprudence of Imam Khomeini (RA) and experience of independent indigenous development in post-revolutionary Iran there are structural similarities. Namely at jurisprudence innovations Imam Khomeini in the contemporary periods has been able to provide adequate mental condition to pursue development activities relying on internal skills among development carriers current now in comparison to former religious traditionalism

Poverty is a multi-meanings concept which has underwent conceptual modifications in different ages. In the current study we seek to review some poverty studies since the rise of Islam in Iran. Our data are collected and analyzed using literary writings and historical texts. The selected texts were classified based on four general themes, namely Sufism, ethics, teaching, and fotowwat writings (letters on chivalry). In particular, we used a text-based historical method to analyze the gathered data. The findings indicate that there are some interrelated and synonymous concepts for poverty which are difficult to understand without considering its various meanings. In addition, we found historical connotations of the concept of poverty. According to the results, the nature of poverty can be interpreted and classified into two categories: virtues and vices. Our results also suggest that poverty is mainly understood as a cultural interpretation. It is a conceptual chain that carries many ethical meanings including piety, abstinence, contentment, and deliverance. As a result, the removal of poverty requires such a cultural understanding.

Democracy is one of the most fundamental concepts in the field of political philosophy and Sociology. Islamic civilization shaped new form of democracy based on Quran verses and manner of governance in Medina’ Al-Nabi and accepted equal rights of political participation for men and women. However, this form of democracy has not been continued in Muslim societies.
In contemporary period, especially after Islamic revolution in Iran, many social or political thinkers focused on religious democracy.
Apart from some scholars who reject religious democracy or disagree with current concepts in the political philosophy and social sciences, some other accept this form of democracy. In this paper, after reviewing these scholars, religious democracy from the Imam Khomeini’s perspective is discussed. Regarding methodology, we applied grounded theory (GTM) to find main concepts and theoretical model advocated by Imam Khomeini. Reviewing Imam Khomeini,s writings, especially his Sahife Noor, and using GTM we found the main categories of religious democracy including “Velaee leadership”, “legalism”, Islamic government”, “civil freedoms”, “global politic”, “public rights”, and “distinguishing expediency”. The central category is a “task-oriented” and “obligated” political system”. Finally, based on the above mentioned categories, Imam Khomeini’s theoretical model of religious democracy is presented.

Friendship is an internal quality that stems from the conscience and temperament of a person. Neglecting this essential quality of human existence will result in destructive harm that will be difficult or impossible to compensate. Friendship encompasses numerous dimensions of types, degrees, obstacles, meanings, and resources, but the focus of this research is on the examination of two essential categories, “friendship’s causes and properties,” and it begins by posing the following questions: What factors motivate man’s tendency toward friendship, and what topics can constitute friendship? The author intends to investigate the answers to the aforementioned questions from the perspectives of Ghazali and Khwaja Nasir al-Din Tusi, two renowned Islamic thinkers. This research required library research to collect the necessary data, which was then compared to determine the similarities and differences between the two approaches. The findings indicate that Ghazali, with his mystic outlook, considers “God” to be the greatest friendship motive among the causes of love. Also, only “God” deserves to be man’s best companion among the subjects of love, and expressing love to other subjects is interpreted as friendship with God. The greatest motivation for love, according to Khwaja Nasir al-Din Tusi, is the combination of the three reasons he lists for friendship: pleasure, benefit, and pure goodness. In terms of friendship, Khajah prioritizes social relationships with other males.

Applying a documentary analysis method, Ghazali’s “Ehya –e- Oloom –e- din” (“Revival of Sciences of Religion”) has been reviewed. The results show his attention and emphasis on fertility and marriage either directly or indirectly. Ghazali has expressed the necessity of family formation and marriage. According to Ghazali, the most important objective of constructing family is reproduction or survival of human kind. He also makes known other consequences and benefits of marriage. In his view, other benefits of marriage are having children, overcoming sexual desire, home management, expanding relatives and making effort to protect women rights. Ghazali has also introduced ‘Azl’ or ‘withdrawal’ as the traditional contraceptive method.

Social issues and looking at different aspects of human being with collective identity have a special place in the thought and writings of Allameh Tabatabai. The structured mind of this distinguished Islamic thinker has led to the design and discussion of the foundations and structures of the creation and movement of human society; In such a way that social thinking can be considered one of the weight points of his religious thought. The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, follows Allameh Tabatabai's thought foundations in discussing the origin of human society and the type of communication between them. The results of the research show that the mechanism of forming human society, the origin of sociality, the creation of restrictions on individual freedom, collective cooperation, the enactment of law and the formation and establishment of government and the way of governance, as the foundations and presuppositions of building human society in thought. Allameh has a systematic relationship and, like the seeds of a chain, they have formed a strong thread in the context of the occurrence and survival of human society. This structured look at social topics and issues has brought Allameh into thinking in the field of social life. In his social thoughts, he believes in building society from the context and from the bottom up, and the pyramid of power, despite its importance, is the second priority in his thoughts on social issues and governance.

The issue of this paper is inspired by Jamal Al-din Asad Abadi’s views. He believes religion plays a positive role in development in Islamic societies and a distorted religion brings about declination. Ghada and Ghadar, as one of the Islamic beliefs, causes energy, and motivation needed for movement. Current surveys, inspired by some western theorizers, use fatalism instead of Ghada and Ghadar. Fatalism somehow means determinism. Asad Abadi, Ashghar, Du Baskieh, Bell and Heterly, poetic works (Hafez and Molana) and prose works (encyclopedias and non -survey research), disagree with this definition. Sorokin. Mohseni, Azkia and Ajami have paid attention to fatalism carefully. Non-survey works declare an additional aspect of fatalism different from non- deep and biased survey research. The definitions used in non- surveys that is more popular, is more similar to Asad Abadi’s definition.
