Tradition and modernity in the thought of Dariush Shaygan before the Islamic Revolution of Iran

In this article, we will examine the concept of tradition and modernity in Dariush Shaygan's thought based on a combination of Carl Gustav Jung's collective psychoanalysis and Heidegger's hermeneutic theory, which is the basis for reviving Eastern spirituality against the domination of modernity over non-European cultures. Based on this argument, hermeneutics seeks to interpret the text and explain the process of understanding. Hermeneutics is a philosophical tradition of reflection that seeks to clarify the concept of understanding and to answer the question of what constitutes the meaning of everything meaningful. Therefore, in fields such as philosophy, theology, literary criticism and social sciences and philosophy of science, we are witnessing the increasing use of hermeneutics and related topics. Dariush Shayegan is one of the few thinkers and intellectuals in the last 5 decades in Iran who is contemporary with intellectuals such as Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Reza Davari Ardakani, Dariush Ashouri, Ehsan Naraghi, etc. and the unique features that Shaygan has, he Distinguishes it from its contemporaries. One of the important and key issues in the works of Shaygan and his contemporaries is the issue of tradition and modernity in the face of the Iranian people with this issue.
