A Study on the Imam Khomeini's Political Thought

The paper is mainly concerned with proposing a thought-oriented and systematic attitude to political thoughts of Imam Khomeini and application of theory in analysis of political thoughts. The study aims at organizing the stages of knowing the problems, reasons, ideals, and solutions theoretically in Iman Khomeini’s political thought. According to the findings of the study, to Imam Khomeini, the main problems of Iran’s society are internal despotism and external colonialism while intellectual and ideological degenerations of the Muslims are the main reasons in causing these problems. The desirable ideal to remove such problems requires establishment of an Islamic State. Finally, Imam Khomeini declares that the mere solution of establishing Islamic State and dismantling internal despotism and external colonialism is revolution.
