Recognizing and evaluating the currents of knowledge that carry political trends is one of the concerns of contemporary thinkers, and stepping in the path of this evaluation is impossible without theoretical reflection and effort to understand it. Among the currents of knowledge in the present era, there is the discussion of tradition, traditionalism, and neo-traditionalism. In order to enter into the discussion of tradition, according to the traditionalists, one should pay attention to the set of facts that include history, geography and philosophy. Traditionalists creditably relate the history of their reflections to the scope of human history. Therefore, we are faced with a kind of people of knowledge, from which political thought is extracted from this knowledge.
Seyyed Hossein Nasr is also among those who are interested in the votes of these people and are trying to expand the traditional worldview. As a neo-traditionalist thinker, he has another exploration in this term.
In the opinion of neo-traditionalists like Nasr, this knowledge has a divine origin and is focused on sacred knowledge, which is placed in the gem of tradition, and what is important for them are the benefits and fruits of tradition in life. This research is trying to discover the political thought of neo-traditionalists such as Nasr and to extract politics from the heart of the tradition that has divine origin in order to examine the benefits and fruits that neo-traditionalists say about it in the field of politics. . to get
Knowing the dimensions and coordinates of neo-traditionalism and discovering Nasr's political thought as a prominent neo-traditionalist thinker and understanding the differences and commonalities between traditionalism and neo-traditionalism is the main goal of this research.
The main question of our research is how to draw the political thought of Seyed Hossein Nasr as the most prominent neo-traditionalist thinker? And how can the origin and general coordinates of Nasr's new traditionalism be represented according to his philosophical logic and how can his political thought be depicted?
Our hypothesis is based on the fact that Seyyed Hossein Nasr's political thought was formed in the form of negation of modernity and criticism of popular political-religious traditionalism on the basis of the philosophical tradition of Hikmat Khaleda in the form of opposition to modernity on the one hand and criticism of political Islam on the other. Our other assumption is that the origin of Nasr's neo-traditionalism crystallized in the theory of Hekmat Khaleda, and it had the characteristics of responding to the crisis of modernity and eliminating the defects of the popular political-religious traditionalism. Seyyed Hossein Nasr's political thought was based on the foundation of anti-modernity, criticism of traditionalism, and criticism of the political Islamic discourse, and was represented politically in the form of the theory of monarchy. Our information gathering methods will be based on the type of research, library and document collection, and our main method in this research is exploratory. As its name suggests, this method seeks to explore (the political thought of neo-traditionalists and Nasr) the things that happen and questions about them. This method is especially useful when there is sufficient knowledge about a phenomenon. does not exist Therefore, the exploratory method can lead to a decision about whether the topic is worth researching or not.
