Epistemological Reasons for the Breakdown of Political Groups in Iran

Narration of political forces in society is considered as the narration of political, sociological and cultural developments of a society. In fact, by examining and explaining the political factions, including the type of competition, the coalition and rupture between political forces, the epistemological and intellectual support of political groups, at least some of the social and cultural issues are explained. Therefore, the analysis of the breakdown of political forces over the past four decades requires a sociological and epistemological approach. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, due to the social, religious, intellectual and historical conditions, as well as modernity and its consequences, several political factions have been formed, but these formations gradually split under the influence of institutional, instrumental, internal and external variables.  In fact, the central question and purpose of this research is the epistemological reasons for the break in the intellectual-political factions in Iran. Although the reasons for the rift between political forces during the Islamic Republic can be divided into two general sections, the fundamental issues of Iran's developments over the past four decades have ultimately influenced the breakdown of intellectual and political factions.
