Abstract
The Islamic revolution that transpired in Iran posed a difficulty for the theorists of the revolution in their way of thinking. Revolutions of the past were either predicated on modernity or did not oppose it; they consisted of simple uprisings of the peasant or worker multitudes against the owners of property and power. However, during the Islamic revolution, the populace, leadership, slogans, and ideology were all in good standing with Shiite Islam. “Hossein Kechoyan” is the name of one of the philosophers who has contributed to the study of jihadi Islam. “The nature, reflection, and obstacles of the Islamic Revolution in the thought of Hossein Kechuyan” is the subject of this article. By employing the text hermeneutic method and documental information collection, an effort is made to comprehend the Islamic revolution theory and the progression of Quechuan history. The hermeneutic approach employed in the article revealed that Kechuyan believed that the Islamic revolution brought about a paradigm shift in the definition of revolution; its religious and cultural character contributed to its ability to dominate history; and as a result, it is regarded as one of the greatest revolutions. Because the great revolutions, by virtue of their civilizational essence, possess the capacity to exert influence over subsequent revolutions and alter the methodologies and demands of the movements. The article’s novelty lies in its examination of an Iranian theorist specializing in revolutionary theory.
