Given the necessity for mysticism to transition from individual isolation into the arena of social and civilizational management, explaining objective models of this approach has become critically important in the contemporary era.Objective: The central question of this research is the possibility of defining and explaining "Social Mysticism" based on the lived experience and spiritual-heroic biography of Martyr Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.Methodology: This research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through documentary studies and by examining scientific and practical evidence within the life of the "Leader of Resistance".Findings: Findings indicate that Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah's life embodies the "Comprehensive Jihad" model (including Greater, Great, Middle, and Lesser Jihad) and reflects the system of Divine Names: Knowledge (Al-Ilm), Power (Al-Qudrah), Wisdom (Al-Hukm), and Justice (Al-Adl). He effectively dismantled artificial dichotomies between "mysticism and politics" or "remembrance and life," linking mystical monotheism to social monotheism.Conclusion: Nasrallah's lived experience serves as a comprehensive translation of civilization-building social mysticism. This study shows that authentic Islamic mysticism, in its highest stages (the third and fourth journeys), culminates in social guardianship (Wilayah) and management, providing a robust foundation for establishing justice and fighting oppression in the modern world. https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_734926.html Introduction: Human beings are naturally social and inclined toward cooperation, yet collective living is invariably accompanied by conflicts of interest and disputes. Clarifying the philosophy of religious legislation is crucial because human laws alone are insufficient to fully restrain wild instincts or provide sustainable order, a necessity that prompted the current research.Objective: This study aims to explore the necessity of religious legislation in human society and its role in resolving disputes and guiding humanity toward true happiness.Methodology: This is a descriptive-analytical study conducted via a library-based method, utilizing note-taking from religious sources and exegetical texts.Findings: The findings indicate that the root of social conflict lies in the instinct of exploitation and the clash of material interests. Religion, through the mission of prophets and the revelation of the Book, creates divine responsibility and internal oversight (an inner guardian). It resolves both natural disputes (regarding livelihood) and those stemming from rebellion (regarding religion itself), thereby balancing human powers.Conclusion: Divine religion is the sole means of securing eternal happiness and reforming human nature. The scientific implication of this study is the proof of the superiority of the religious system over human laws in organizing both worldly and afterlife existence, offering a stronger guarantee of execution due to its profound influence on the human core. https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_734927.html Introduction: The contemporary world faces a profound moral crisis characterized by extreme individualism and the collapse of social bonds,. This research re-examines the Qur’anic moral system to address these challenges and bridge the gap in comparative ethical studies between Islamic and Western paradigms.Objective: The primary objective is to analyze the Qur’anic ethical system's capacity to solve contemporary social dilemmas by comparing it with three major Western theories: Ethics of Care, Virtue Ethics, and Discourse Ethics.Methodology: This study employs an analytical-comparative methodology with a documentary approach,. Data were extracted from authoritative exegetical, philosophical, and sociological sources, including the works of major Western philosophers.Findings: Findings reveal that Qur’anic ethics is a comprehensive, monotheistic system grounded in the triad of mercy, justice, and wisdom,. Unlike one-dimensional Western paradigms, the Qur’anic system integrates emotional, rational, and social dimensions into an organic relationship with monotheism and tazkiyah (purification).Conclusion: The Qur’anic moral system provides a theocentric framework capable of addressing social crises such as family disintegration and inequality,. It serves as an indigenous model for Islamic societies and a philosophical foundation for global cross-cultural dialogue. https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_728831.html Introduction: Popular culture serves as the realm of everyday life and shared meanings, often positioned in contrast to elite culture. This research addresses the necessity of moving Islamic wisdom beyond mere abstractions to actively guide public life and interpersonal behaviors within the family unit.Objective: The primary objective is to provide a "wisdom-based interpretation" of popular culture and to explain how fundamental philosophical concepts influence the biological and identity patterns of the family.Methodology: This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach. Data was gathered through library research, involving a comparative analysis of popular culture theorists (such as Levi-Strauss and Althusser) and Muslim philosophers (such as Avicenna and Mulla Sadra).Findings: The findings indicate that Islamic wisdom, based on principles like substantial motion and the gradation of the soul, defines popular culture as the process of "cultivating taste toward desiring the gradual authentic". In this framework, imagination (as the bridge between sense and intellect), myth (as a tool for transferring meaning), and happiness/joy (as a driver of will) are the core pillars of culture-making.Conclusion: The study concludes that by recognizing individual agency and utilizing linguistic and imaginal capacities, the family can achieve unity from plurality. The practical implication is a shift in policy-making focus from the "ideal human" to the "concrete human" to realize a growth-oriented lifestyle. https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_728785.html Introduction: The COVID-19 crisis has profoundly impacted the public culture and religious life of the Iranian people beyond mere governance challenges. Given that Iran is a deeply religious society, understanding the transformations in public culture with a focus on religiosity is essential for comprehending social reactions and managing similar crises.Objective: The primary objective of this research is to study and explain the public culture of Iranians during the Corona era (from February 2020 to August 2020) with an emphasis on various layers of religiosity.Methodology: This study employs directed qualitative content analysis. Data was gathered through library research, examining books, articles, scientific webinars, expert notes, and national surveys. The analysis is structured around a three-layer framework: meanings and beliefs, public understanding, and actions/behaviors.Findings: The findings indicate that in the layer of meanings, beliefs such as trust in God (Tawakkul), prayer, and the spirit of cooperation were significantly strengthened. In the level of public understanding, challenges emerged regarding the relationship between science and religion and the redefinition of rituals. Regarding actions, while traditional collective rituals were restricted, individual religiosity grew, and new rituals focused on social services emerged through volunteer (Jihadist) groups and "health defenders". Additionally, virtual consumption of religious cultural products became firmly established.Conclusion: The research concludes that the pandemic shifted religiosity from the public sphere to individual and family cores while strengthening the social dimension of religion. The alignment of religious institutions with health protocols did not damage their status; instead, it promoted the rationalization of religious actions and enhanced the social capital of the healthcare system and volunteers. https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_734928.html Introduction: The Fourth Industrial Revolution is fundamentally reshaping human life, work, and communication with unprecedented scale and complexity. This research is prompted by the emergence of the "network effect," where digital platforms transcend national borders, reducing state sovereignty while redefining power, wealth, and social structures globally.Objective: The primary objective of this study is to investigate how communication technologies influence social and cultural spheres.Methodology: The research employs a descriptive-analytical method, utilizing library research tools to gather theoretical evidence and analyze high-level policy documents and international agreements.Findings: The findings reveal that platforms disrupt the traditional "competitive value train" by removing gatekeepers and bypassing national regulations, organizing populations into global networks beyond government control. Furthermore, international frameworks such as the 2030 Agenda act as cultural attachments to these technologies, aiming to impose a unified liberal ideology and lifestyle by transforming educational and media systems.Conclusion: The study concludes that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is shifting power from nation-states to transnational corporations, leading toward weakened national governance and a unipolar global order. National identities are increasingly being replaced by platform-based global identities, highlighting an urgent need to redefine cyber-governance models to protect national interests. https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_728788.html Introduction: Scientism is one of the most fundamental concepts of modern civilization, fundamentally altering the cognitive spaces of contemporary human existence. This research is significant because many of these changes remain hidden and implicit due to their deep integration into the cultural layer of knowledge; thus, understanding modern civilization requires identifying these components embedded in public thought and culture.Objective: The primary goal of this article is to establish scientism as a central pillar of modern civilization and to elucidate its epistemological consequences and outcomes across various domains, including rationality, philosophy, the new sciences, and the higher education system.Methodology: This study employs a descriptive-analytical research method. By examining authoritative texts, the authors describe the impacts of scientism while focusing less on direct critique and evaluation.4. Findings The findings indicate that scientism has been established as the dominant model of theoretical rationality in the modern West, asserting the scientific method as the sole valid criterion for knowledge. This approach has led to the hegemony of naturalism in philosophy and a mechanical and reductionist perspective in empirical sciences like medicine. Furthermore, it has marginalized non-quantitative methods in the humanities and shifted the identity of universities toward entrepreneurial and commercial models.Conclusion: By restricting knowledge to empirical experience, scientism leaves no room for authentic philosophical inquiry and, due to its self-refuting nature, ultimately challenges the validity of empirical science itself. The final consequence is the "customization of science" based on economic or ideological interests, which erodes the fundamental goal of "discovering reality". https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_728786.html The identification of culture with subcultures is one of the most common mistakes in the study of culture. This tolerance also occurs in the study of the relationship between "culture" and "literature". Some consider literature as part of culture and others, on the contrary, consider culture as part of literature; And some consider these to be manifestations of one another or of another. The right way is to refine the concept, provide a definition of the basis and determine the logical relationship between the two categories. The purpose of this paper, after determining this ratio, is to examine how literature influences culture.This article claims that by assuming the authority of one of the many interpretations of these two concepts, the influence of literature on culture can be examined in the context of the four causes of the existence of the object; Adopting this method reveals: Literature has a direct impact on the "existential" and "essential" causes of culture https://societyresearch.iict.ac.ir/article_728787.html The following article seeks to look at Morteza Motahari's lectures on the understanding and analysis of the Islamic Revolution from the perspective of the attributes and characteristics of this revolution and present a sociological formulation of it; So that both the identity of this revolution is revealed and its distinguishing aspects compared to other revolutions. The opening of this issue will pave the way for religious theorizing about the Iranian revolution, and the planning and design of the movement path of the revolution will be in line with its original essence. So the question is, what sociological formulation of the characteristics of the Iranian revolution has been presented by Morteza Motahari? In this regard, qualitative content analysis method has been used for data collection and historical sociology method for data analysis. In the end, we achieved seven characteristics, which are: arising from the conscious action of revolutionary forces (arising from the structural/volitional duality), the boiling of divine self-awareness in the revolutionary forces (arising from the duality of materialism/semanticism), reliance on wide-ranging social mobilization (arising from minority/consensus duality), religious leadership arising from social choice (resulting from the mass/geometrical duality), the presence of the promoter of unseen aid (resulting from the duality of external causes/inner causes), challenging against the renewed authority (resulting from the duality of self-sufficiency/non-combat) and The origin of the birth of other revolutions (arising from the national/civilization duality).
