It seems that geopolitics is the most important factor in Iran’s international and local evolutions. Iranians, in the line with political history, sometimes were the great global power as an empire, and sometimes were the local great power. For them, to be the great power in region, there are some causes that need to in mind. So opportunities in the path of being a great regional power are divided in two categories as such: initial opportunities, and evolutional opportunities. Beside these factors, there are some strategies that make the opportunities to be recognized in field. Among these strategies are: Two or multilateral agreements to prevent any offensive acts Development of regional political ::::union::::s Focus on public diplomacy Strengthening the Iranian lobbies separations between Revolutionary and governmental affairs, and so on. It is important that in the vision of Islamic republic of Iran, cultural and religious affairs may help so much in realization of the regional goals.

Philosophical thought, especially in its political form, began with the Al_Farabi more than thousand years ago in the Islamic world but affirmatively, this kind of thought in the world of politics and political action has less results. The question is “what is the role of political philosophy in the evolutions of the present Islamic world?” Evaluating the political-philosophical texts in the Islamic world revealed that there are two main definitions for individual:  “philosophical” individual and “civil” individual. While in this approach the philosophical individual is the main focus but the civil individual has been known as the main origin of democratic movement. 

The pivotal role of philosophical individual in philosophical thought has caused that concepts which could have produce democratic movement, cannot be developed and even this method of thinking, negatively, was a barrier for it. Emphasizing on civil individual rather than philosophical individual has brought a sort of philosophical seclusion, resulted that the philosopher leaves cities for achieving happiness in isolation.

Therefore, it can concluded that , philosophical thought in the Islamic world lessens the concept of individual to philosophical individual which, due to having the exclusive characteristic in understanding and arguing, has always been an essential barrier for cooperative activities (in recent decades the democratic behavior). However in order to achieve cooperative activities and going through a democratic way, there is need to challenge this kind of philosophical thought.

The current evolutions in Arab countries, in a sense is still a product of plural look of available actors toward the history and identity, which can not imagined any agreement between them in short time. So, if we know Morsi as nominative of targeted Islamist group in Egypt which its main goal is the establishment Islamic government by applying Sharia in political, legal, economic, and cultural areas (trying to persue Islam/muslim history), and if we recognize that this country, in the last hundred years and after the collapse of the Ottoman in particular, has experienced streaks alive of secularism and liberalism and nationalism in thought, culture and politics, this question is raised: what is the script and destiny of this goal-oriented movement in Egypt? In other words, under which history, this future is defined? The brief answer to this question refers to the emergence of an intellectual middle class in Egypt that really continues the country’s developments in the intermediate state. This class, due to relatively-open thinking atmosphere in Naser era, following Egypt’s thinking relations with American and European world, emerged gradually in this country and current movement is also indebted to this class.But the point is that this class is not integrated but because of having several identities, its history-making potential lies in halfway mood. This event, at first by drawing some preliminary prepositions aimed to Adel Dhaher’s (Zaher) analysis and then exention of Mohhamad Abed al-Jaberi’s theory about Arab Intellect will be sounded. All of these discussions will be reviewed in Egypt’s historical path.
