Abstract

Ehsan Tabari's critical approach to the archaic ideology of the Pahlavi government is an ideological, hostile and militant confrontation that has meaning in the discourse and political atmosphere of Iran in this period. Tabari tries to challenge the official archaic discourse of the Pahlavi government as a heterogeneous voice. This approach is more militant, ideological, and political in nature than it is concerned with relying on historiographical documents and it is a function of the political-ideological position of the historian as a militant left-wing ideologue attached to the theoretical logic of Marxism in the re-reading of history. This critical approach has several important features: First, it challenges the Pahlavi government's arrogant and glorious official account of the fundamental concept of monarchy in a moralistic-instructive perspective and by including it under the concept of degeneration, Second, it attacks the racial-nationalist character of this archaic ideology by relying on the concept of internationalism And third, by proposing some critical perspectives, he assesses the institutionalizations that emerge from this archaic worldview as emerging from a kind of historical illusion that leads to institutional chauvinism. In this research, with an analytical approach, Ehsan Tabari's critical insight into the archeological ideology of the Pahlavi government will be analyzed and an attempt will be made to question the various layers of this critical approach and the factors influencing its formation as well as its constructive contexts.
