The Relationship of the Social and Human sciences with the Iranian-Islamic Discourse on and Model of Progress

The Islamic Revolution of Iran is in need of a model of progress, in which such components like religion, knowledge, culture and civilization support each other in order to reach a higher level of civilization. Using a documentary method and delving into Martyr Motahhari’s view, the present paper seeks to provide a model of a kind of progress which conforms with the current conditions of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and point out its features briefly. Martyr Motahhari’s view on progress is scrutinized and a kind of discourse including two epistemic and practical dimensions is recognized, which has to do with the power of science (specially the social and human sciences) and models of social subsystems (i.e. politics, economy, education and family) respectively. Furthermore, the correlation between knowledge and religion on the one hand and between assimilation of culture and religion on the other hand have a pivotal role in the progress of society and creating Islamic civilization.
