Hegelian Habitus and Break with Tradition in Contemporary Iran

This article tries to show how, and with what conceptual potentialities, the Hegelian approach created a perspective that upon it attempt to explain the necessity of break with tradition. The main claim is that some Iranian intellectuals explain necessity of break with tradition, internalizing German idealism framework, especially Hegelian approach to tradition and modernity, and generalizing western experience into Iranian locality. Methodologically, this article based on theoretical potentialities of Bourdieuian term habitus, tries to approve that intellectuals approach to phenomena formulates upon different subjective and objective element, and in direct relation with great theories. Intellectuals after internalization of main concepts and presuppositions of one theory, achieve a subjectivity through which, upon a constructed habitus, observe and analyze the phenomena without any compulsion.
