In fact, most of the books and articles on the Iranian revolution interpret it as a political and social phenomenon and based on this view, political, economic and social causes of the Iranian revolution have been studied. On the other hand, some thinkers believe that the Iranian revolution is the ideological or discursive system and we should look for its causes in socio-economic conflicts or the strategy of repression, exclusion and making other on behalf of adversaries' discourses. The authors in this dissertation believe that the reason of lack of theoretic analysis and theoretic foundation of the Iranian revolution is rooted in negligence presented in Dr. Shariati' books and writings among the research resources on the Islamic revolution. These writings provide theoretical resources for phenomenon of Islamic revolution.
