The Theory of  Evolution of History from the View of Professor Motahari

One of the main issues of history in the theoretical philosophy of history is ‘’ the direction of history movement’’. Most philosophers of history consider that history movement is attainment of perfection, and present such things like complexity of social relations, scientific progress, development of technology and industry, improvement of the physical condition of human communities as the criteria of evaluation of history, which govern the rapid development of the material dimensions of human life over time. Professor Motahari put forward a new view about evolution of history and offers a special explanation and a standard which is different from that of philosophers of history, known as ‘’natural or human evolution of history’’. This paper, first touches on very claim, principles and dimensions of Motahari’s view, and then sheds light on the ambiguities in Motahari’s view and ways of resolving them. The idea that the view of ‘’natural or human evolution of history’’ has scientific validity as a speculative hypothesis worth more reading and examination of reality has been provide, but, as a theory theoretically, it has no scientific validity.
