Some Guiding Considerations about Philosophy of History of Aboo-Ali Ahmad Moskavaih Razi

The result of Aboo-Ali Ahmad Ibn Mohammad Maskavaih Razi's special look (died at 421 Qamari) at the process of history is presentation of a kind of critical interpretation and explication of history and explanation of the type of philosophy of history. The new method that he created by combining Iranian, Greek and Islamic historical insights or history writing traditions, shows a conscious and purposeful approach that has been very effective in his course of writing historical events and his critical look at events. His critical insight is an approach that is the extract of his understanding and empiricist intelligence on one hand, and the result of his pragmatist philosophical and moral insight in explaining historical events on the other hand. An exact examination of his historical book that is very well named “Experiences of nations and successive determinations” shows that besides presenting a wholistic theoretical system based on how human societies change while he has a different perspective from his predecessors, Aboo-Ali Maskavaih Razi also mentions critical philosophy of history in its best manner.In this writing, while trying to investigate Maskavaih Razi’s view about history writing and his method, I will try to investigate the first sparks of historical sociology and psychology and in other words, philosophy of history according to his view.
