The Importance of Peter Winch's Opinions and Thoughts in Understanding the Issues of the Islamic Republic of Iran

The analysis and understanding of phenomena and issues in the realm of human sciences have always been done from the perspective of positivist epistemology, which have made the understanding of phenomena and issues ambiguous.  This article focuses on understanding Iran's social issues and phenomena from the post positivist approach and the intellectual perspective of Peter Winch. Understanding each society based on the conventional understanding of that society is the main topic of this research.Therefore, this article seeks to answer the question, through which epistemology and social thinking can one achieve a reliable understanding of the political issues of the Islamic Republic of Iran? The hypothesis of the article is that by applying post-positivist epistemology and especially Peter Winch's opinions, it is possible to gain a more reliable understanding of the political issues of the Islamic Republic of Iran. A combination of content analysis and qualitative research was used to investigate this issue. The present article tries to use the methodological approach of Winch in order to understand the political and cultural issues of Iranian society. Peter Winch’s pinions and thoughts, with valid knowledge of social and human phenomena, have benefited from politics and culture to reach the state of society.
