Mohsenaneh action: phenomenology of work (case study of Mashhad literacy movement)

According to any life style and theory about it, "work" also finds a different meaning. The Islamic revolution also created a world view and a life style, which is logically to define a different meaning of work. Considering the need of the society after the Islamic Revolution for education, the literacy movement was formed under the influence of the Islamic Revolution in 1358, and in it, a meaning of work emerged that had special and distinct characteristics compared to other meanings of work. In this article, an attempt has been made to analyzes the concept and meaning of the work that has been in the literacy movement, focusing on the literacy movement in Mashhad, as the basis of its members' activities. Because the influence of Islamic-Iranian foundations was important for the research in this article, we have tried to avoide ourselves from the relativistic methodology. Therefore we have complete this research by adjusting the phenomenology method and have try to use the doctrines of Henry Corbin in Phenomenology. The findings of the research indicate that the meaning in the eyes of the members of the literacy movement of Mashhad, which we have obtained through 50 interviews and the analysis of two oral history books in this field by the phenomenological method, corresponds to the Qur'anic meaning of work, that is benevolent action.
