Abstract

It is examined the meaning of philosophical reflection in Iran, trying to show that it is the political effervescence what animates it, when motivating the questioning the principles which from it has built the social structure, and which on the ways of life are constituted, as in the pubic dimension as well in the private. Simultaneously, it is made a effort to show how vague could be the explanation of the philosophy’s role through the modernity-tradition opposition, because of the imprecision of these concepts’ use in the analysis of cultural and social phenomena in Iran.
