The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between "truth" and "narrative" from Foucault's paleontological aspect, and the evolution of "truth" and "narrative" in three pre-modern eras represented by "Aristotle", "modern" period represented by "Paul". Ricoeur "and postmodern" has represented Derrida. The classical period refers to Aristotle, which is based on the principle of "identity", and in the modern period, to "Paul Ricoeur", which is based on the principle of Kantian limitation and based on "meaning", and in the form "Creative imagination" and "narrative hermeneutics" and in the post-modern period to "Derrida" based on emphasis on differences and "absence of reference".The question of this research is how to establish a relationship between "narrative" and "truth"? The hypothesis of this research is that: the relationship between "truth" and "narrative" is dynamic and this link is established through "metaphor". The findings of this research are that "truth" and "narrative" are verbal It is in the period of "pre-modern", "modern", "post-modern" and this ratio has changed over time, but despite the change in the three mentioned thinkers, the narrative they present about politics is based on friendship and not based on domination.

Relations between Iran and Russia have been complicated and ups and downs in different historical periods. With the end of the Cold War, the bipolar system also ended and the unilateralist behavior and policies of the United States of America began. With the Islamic revolution, Iran also adopted a foreign policy independent of the two power blocs of the East and the West. On the other hand, in the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia put the policy of convergence with the West on the agenda, and this caused Tehran's relations with Moscow not to be at the elementary level. But the situation did not remain like this and the two countries examined the expansion of relations in various economic, political and technical-military fields. The main question is, what are the main axes and fields in the regional and international relations and cooperation between Iran and Russia in the new era?In response to this question, the hypothesis is raised that Iran and Russia in the present era, on the one hand, have high relations in the economic and nuclear fields, and on the other hand, this remains only at the level of the relations between the two countries and they are in regional issues such as Syria and They also cooperate in ending the civil war in Tajikistan and in other countries. Iran's location in a region makes the relations between these two countries important in various regional and international issues. Because on the one hand Iran is a regional power and on the other hand Russia is an actor at the international level and the relations of this country can be analyzed at both levels.

The relationship between religion and political power is one of the important issues regarding the intellectual system and political action. The current research with analytical-comparative method is the relationship between religion and politics in the works and writings of Tensor and Machiavelli. Therefore, with a comparative method and also with the application of Skinner's method in understanding the internal logic of the texts, Tensor's writings have been examined by focusing on his religious-political ideas in accordance with Machiavelli's opinions in his books. Therefore, the main research question is what is the relationship between religion and politics from the perspective of Machiavelli and Tensor? The findings of the research show that Machiavelli believed that religion and politics are two separate elements, and in cases where they intersect, politics has special precedence over religion. In general, it can be said that the main essence of Tensor's and Machiavelli's works is that there should be a serious difference and distinction between religion and the necessities of politics. Although in Tensar's works, the alignment of religion and politics is quite tangible, but in the relationship between religion and politics, religion has always been left aside in favor of politics and power, under the guise of expediency and heresy.

China is seeking a dynamic presence in the high seas and strategic ports of the world in order to become a world power. One of its important initiatives is the "China's Maritime Silk Road Initiative" (MSRI), which has various political, economic, and geopolitical dimensions for China. This sea route, after passing through the Indian Ocean and various ports, will eventually reach the European continent. One of its goals is to "raise the level of development of European and Asian countries" through this initiative, which will be achieved by developing the infrastructure in the "transit countries" and facilitating regional cooperation among them. The key question of this research is: How can Iran's political economy improve in China's maritime silk road plan? The research method is descriptive, using library resources, to express and operationalize the variables through indicators. The research also explains how this "improvement of position" in the field of political economy is possible for Iran. The main hypothesis is that "the increase of Chinese investments and mutual cooperation" in developing Iran's infrastructure, in line with China's MSRI, will improve the position of Iran's political economy for China.
