AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL IDEAS IN ffiAN Dr. Seyyed Javad Tabatabai University of Tehran Abstract The history of political ideas and the logic behind its development is the most complicated section of the general history of thought in the Islamic Era. The first question raised in our critical study of the history of political ideas is the following: what is the domain of Iranian civilization at the Islamic period?
This modernism in political philosophy, which does not involve itself in modernity nor in modernization is indeed a research in the nature of our modem times3• The first question raised in our critical study of the history of political ideas is the following: What is the nature of the political ideas which came about in the domain of Iranian civilization at the Islamic Bra?
Naturally, Machiavelli, like our modem writers on politics, considers the philosophy of his time and involves himself in thinking accordingly.
Khaje Nezamol Molk, following many other Iranian ministers (Grand Vizirs) working in the caliph's court, tried to bring caliphate close to kingdom, to establish a new "ideology" for the caliphate, and to make sharia (religion) and a caliphate based on it, on the one hand, and Iran's socio-political management prior to Islam, on the other hand, isomorphic.
Now we should closely examine the logic behind political ideas, and distinguish another kind of Syasatnameh which deals with the establishment of the notion of government and kingdom on the basis of a superficial interpretation of sharia (religion) and which presents another facet of domination-based governments.
