The Impact of Knowledge on Imam Khomeini's Political System; A case Study of Imam Khomeini's Political Action in the Face of Political Currents

The infrastructure of political behavior stems from the insights, inclinations, and knowledge of individuals. This paper covers only the knowledge. The relationship between knowledge and political behavior can be pursued from two approaches, one is political culture and human knowledge of political concepts; and the other, the influence of political perception and type of political attitude on the political action of individuals. This study seeks to investigate the impact of knowledge on the political behavior of Imam Khomeini. The findings show that the Imam's scientific comprehensiveness in various fields, with his different approach to the Western and Eastern knowledge, has caused Imam Khomeini's political behavior to benefit from two indicators of transcendence and political rationality. Some of the components of Imam Khomeini's behavioral system include observing dignity when facing political currents, recognizing the nature of currents, recognizing the enemy, and applying measures and strategies to overcome the political crises. Imam Khomeini seeks to create innovative mental ideas for political currents based on these components to bring their actions closer to the strategies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
