Abstract

This article is the result of my doctoral dissertation. In this work, I (hereafter: the writer) consider Aramesh Dustdar's main thesis "Emtenae Tafakor" and give my interpretation of it, "Emtenae Tafakor" is the main content of Dustdar's view on faith and reason in the epistemology of religion. In addition, the writer moves to theocracy and argues that Aramesh Dustdar could not provide attainable ideas and arguments against theocracy in the social and political philosophy. Straightforwardly, the aforementioned claim has been based on a low level of proficiency of Aramesh Dustdar in social and political philosophy and the philosophy of law, and the writer will articulate this claim via some quotations from Aramesh Dustdar’s works and then criticize them.
