Westoxification Discourse: Shayegan and Obstructed Path of Eternal Memory

 In the context of Laclau and Mouffe's theory of discourse, this article seeks to examine Dariush Shaygan's original discourse in his two books, Mental Idols and Eternal Memory and Asia Against the West(in the first period of his scientific life).The discourses of originality, in a range from critical to anti-Western antiquity, were formulated in Iran in the 1340s and 1350s with a breakdown in the hegemony of Western civilization and modernity. The basis of the discourses of originality is based on a picture of the gaps and gaps of indigenous identity that, with the influence of modern Western culture, the "self" with the presence of "other" and "other" has been driven to a shaky position of values and relations. Scattered and disintegrated, it has found a place devoid of historical prestige and prestige. By rejecting Heidegger's instrumental intellect, under the influence of Heidegger, and by reconstructing tradition and by creating philosophical concepts and metaphors, Shaygan's narrative of authenticity provides a theoretical basis for the discourse of originality, and paves the way for the dissemination of ideological discourses among the intellectual generation of the 1350s. In opposition to the West, imperialism and its puppet tyranny were formulated as ideals of "return to self" and religious roots, preparing Iran for the establishment of a government of originality.
