Reading political culture from Ayatollah Khamenei’s opinion

The purpose of this study is to read the political culture from Ayatollah Khamenei’s opinion. In this regard, with the descriptive-analytical method and theoretical model of Almond and Verba, Ayatollah Khamenei's cultural statements and views in three areas: "cognition", "identity" and "assessment" are examined and then the desired political culture in his thought is explained and delineated. The results show that in Ayatollah Khamenei's thought, political culture under the influence of monotheistic worldview and Islamic anthropology has been reproduced by forming elements such as freedom, rationality and supervision, and the model of dignity-oriented political culture.
