The Historical Perspective of Isma’ilis Philosophical Components

In this research, attempts are made to respond to the raised questions in the theoretical philosophy field of History from the Isma'ili intellectuals' point of view represented in their cosmological notions in Isma'ili theology and history of human being. The most important philosophical component in Isma'ili history in accordance with its different systems in comparison with Islamic perspective of history is also surveyed. It seems that the Isma'ili historiography in spite of its common properties with Islamic perspective of History in particular and classical-religious historiography in general, possesses components such as axial role of Imam in history, cyclic-linear system of history, and the affiliation between History and Meta-History. These components are reflected in the few remained historiographical works of Ismail'ism. The method of this research is Hermeneutics phenomenology and the data is collected based on the historical methods using library materials.
