A Theoretical Approach to Islamic Revolution: a Study of Shariati's Thoughts about the Islamic Revolution

Iranian Islamic revolution since its victory has been analyzed from different perspectives but in these analyses, the theoretic point of view and searching a theoretic foundation for the revolution has been neglected. In fact, most of the books and articles on the Iranian revolution interpret it as a political and social phenomenon and based on this view, has been searched for its political, economic and social causes of the Iranian revolution. On the other hand some thinkers believe that the Iranian revolution is the ideological or discursive system which we should find its causes in socio-economic conflicts or the strategy of repression, exclusion and making other on behalf of adversarie's discourses.
The author in this dissertation believes that the reason of lack of theoretic analysis and theoretic foundation of the Iranian revolution is rooted in negligence of Dr. Shariati' books and writings among the research resources on the Islamic revolution. These writings provide theoretical resources for phenomenon of Islamic revolution.
