The Reflection of Islamic Revolution on Theories of Revolution:The Birth and Formation of the Fourth Generation of Theories of Revolution

What impact and reflection the Islamic Revolution of Iran has had on the theories of revolution? This is the question the present article seeks to answer. After a glance over the theories of revolution at the time when the Islamic Revolution was underway, a glance which is carried out based on two important works: Jack Goldstone (1980) and Stan Tylor (1984) the writer follows the impact of the Islamic Revolution in two areas which are the third generation of theories of revolution, and, more importantly, the formation of the fourth generation of theories of revolution, whose departure point and origin of formation is Islamic Revolution. These four approaches derived from the Islamic Revolution are: 1. Cultural Approaches (with many thinkers). 2. The Third World social revolution approach of John Foran. 3. The Spiritual Approach of Michele Foucault. 4. Metaphysical or Gnostic Approach of Leyli Eshghi. These four approaches are described and explained relatively in detail in the text of the article. Thus, this article, in addition to introduction and conclusion, consists of two main sections with the headings of theories of revolution prior to the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which is comprised of the classical and modern literature and theories, and theories of revolution after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which, in turn, consists of two sub-categories of revision applied by some theorists of the third generation in their theories, and the birth of the fourth generation of modern theories of revolution. It is in this final section that the four approaches of Cultural, Third Word, Spiritual, and Gnostic are discussed in detail.
