Comparative study of the basis of epistemology in theory of religious democracy underlying Imam Khomeini's and Jürgen Habermassviewpoint

Two governmental patterns, religious democracy (as the form of Islamic republic) and deliberative democracy are the new proposed patterns at the beyond of thought and political action, although their roots and history have been old. The comparative study as an old approach in social science while it’s applied between two theories could lead to solve the theoretical problem and conceptual ambiguities of those theories, and contributes to quantitative and qualitative expansion as a scientific method.
Through this viewpoint, this article has tried to study the epistemological aspect of two mentioned theories as one of the cognition pillars of one theory. To reach this goal firstly the epistemology position of one theory and then a brief explanation of those patterns should be stated, furthermore the segregation and similarities of the both theories will be compared in short.
The most prominent beginning point of comparison which generally leads to segregation of two theories with regards to epistemology, is monotheism in religious democracy and humanism in deliberative democracy.
It has to be mentioned since the most distinctive persons in these two theories are Imam Khomeini and Jürgen Habermas in turn, this article has emphasized on their opinions.
