This study seeks to explain the principles and foundations of Western studies in the arena of Iranian experience and looks at it as an exceptional event in contemporary history. According to this hypothesis, our discussion in explaining the differences between rupture and continuity between two parallel aspects of this Iranian experience is the religious metaphysical aspect based on the belief in the unseen and the socio-political aspect focusing on a collection of the presence and effectiveness of the postmodern era. However, the approach of Western analysis in the Iranian Islamic experience, due to its special feature, goes through a set of principles governing the understanding of phenomena in both political philosophy and modern sociology. The meaning of going through the prevailing principles here is not to deny or violate the principles and criteria adopted by modern reason, but to continue explaining the facts and realities that modern rationality has ignored and concealed- facts that go beyond a purely material interpretation of history. What leads us to such a claim is that the logic of causality governing the events and developments of history is not limited to the closed cave of historicism, but rather, it goes beyond that and enters horizons in which unpredictable developments and events are revealed, and at the same time are of the lineage and logic of causality. This means that there are facts that have been remained within history, and they only emerge when there is the right will to reveal them at the right time and place. The challenge of modern thought is that it confines its method to knowing what arises from the developments and twists of history, regardless of what lies at the heart of history, and is the source of its movement, renewal, and permanence.

The analysis of the arguments and principles of each jurisprudential or juridical school of thought, while explaining the strong and weak points of that school of thought, may bring about the development and continuation of the doctrines of that school of thought. Jurisprudential schools of thought and the political systems which are originated in them are not exceptions to the rule. In the meantime, the jurisprudential school of thought of Qum which lays the cornerstone of the political system based on the institution of the guardianship of the Muslim jurist, is of particular importance. This article seeks to explain the question of the primary principle in the field of political authority (guardianship) in the light of arguments and principles. By principle in this context we mean a criterion which the wise men rely on in shaping social association. By reference to the jurisprudential doctrines of the school of thought of Qum, it follows that although the result of the studies on the sources and principles is that human beings have no guardianship and authority over their fellow human beings. However, the primary principle in governmental relations is political guardianship which has been exception to the general rule due to certain reasons such as having the attribute of infallibility or justice in the light of infallibility as the one which finds its expression in the theory of the guardianship of the Muslim jurist. Taking the present condition into account, the jurisprudential schools of thought of Qum have succeeded to follow the course of the pure Alawid school of thought.
