Examining historical process of the consolidation of the Humanities in Iran

In this article, based on the current historical data on the emergence and development of the Human Sciences, we looked at this thinking approach that different social forces were placed together-in a coordinated or opposite way- and made possible the acquisition of the available sciences, especially the Humanities. Given the nature of the issue, the research method was a historical analysis and the method of data collection was documentary. The researchers tried to review systematically and coherently, the context and historical conditions in the process of the development of the Humanities. In this research, we showed that the humanities appeared discursively in terms of breakdowns, inequalities and divisions (1796-1831). Two events of coincidence and inconsistencies during cholera, defeat from Russia and the arrival of French and British forces to Iran were the background for acquisition of the humanities. Through discourse acquisition of the humanities, the ground for discourses conflict was provided in Iran, and through this conflict, the humanities discourses became problematic (1941-1953). We also showed that contrariwise to the humanities discourse that has always been dominated by conflict and hostility, humanities institutions have been drafted in the era of security and authority of government. The consolidation of the humanities has been the result of two distinct periods in terms of security (humanities institutions) and conflict (humanities discourse).
