Abstract
The theoretical formulation of Iran has been one of the most important lines of thought in the last hundred years. It started with the research activities of orientalists and has occupied many Iranian researchers. In the meantime, Professor Henry Corbin is considered among the pioneers of this field. His research about Iran has a special and unique feature. He has always inspired the younger generations after himself. Corbin avoids merely listing field reports about Iran. He reaches the depth of Iran's constructive framework. This issue helps him to put the components of Iranian identity in a coherent system. These components have deep connections with each other in the innermost elements of their life. This approach has given a special face to Corbin research regarding Iran. The following article presents a report of the research activities of this great researcher and Iranologist and deals with the core of his research and presents a theoretical formulation of this researcher and shows its place among the theories of Iranology and then criticizes his theory about Iran. Therefore, dealing with the issues of such a thinker is beyond the scope of an article and is the only entry point. Also, this article focuses on his theory of Iranology and will discuss his other intellectual aspects only to the extent of necessity.
