Islamic Revolution and Recovering the Intra-cultural and Cross-cultural Heritage in Modern Civilization

Civilization heritages, intra-cultural heritages and cross-cultural achievements, can become the capacities for the new Islamic civilization in the Islamic Revolution's struggle for the civilization-building. This conversion requires the conditions and the supplies of which are the main purpose of this research. Taking advantage of "intra-cultural heritage" depends on the four conditions, historicity, preserving and maintaining the heritage, current situation and future prospects of a nation and historical continuity and centrality. Accessing to civilizational treasures, lacking of gap between past and future, the genuine and independent civilization-building mobility of a nation are the three prerequisite conditions for the transformation of an intra-cultural heritage into a civilizational capacity. The requisite condition for the transformation of a cross-cultural heritage into a capacity for new civilization-building is that, the assets should be adapted from a defunct culture or the one that lost its dynamism and vitality. Adopting, in addition to self-esteem and avoiding intimidation from the dominant civilization, requires the de-ideologizing and modifying to transform the assets of the dominant culture. It seems that, the IRI provides the ground for the conversion of the civilization's assets to a civilizational capacity.
