Abstract

Fardid is the most famous anti-Western intellectual in Iran today. Promoting his ideas in the factions and groups of the Islamic Republic of Iran - known for their anti-Westernism and fundamentalism - and the sharp attacks and criticisms of modern intellectuals and the anti-Western and anti-extremist ideas of "Westernization" and "extremism". - Both religious and non-religious - to him, shows the impact of his views and thoughts on the Iranian intellectual. Fardid's name, on the other hand, is tied to the intellectual history of Iran. Heidegger, who is considered to be the first spokesman for Heidegger in Iran, for a relatively long time, meant a circle of people of thought and philosophy, and in this way began to spread his views. This study is dedicated to the study of the views and ideas of Fardid and its effects on the intellectuals before and after the revolution in the framework of the discourse of westernization and self-return. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting information is library. What is the result of the research is that one of the important tasks of Fardid is to raise the return to the self at a very radical and deep level, both in terms of confrontation and in terms of content, and this possibility to a large extent. Heidegger's use provided for him, and Fardid was most in line with our circumstances after the 1979 revolution, because it makes it possible to move to post-tomorrow conditions beyond the history of modernity.
