Abstract

The Cultural Revolution began operations in 1980 and closed the universities. This revolution happened because of the confrontation with Western approaches that entered the universities in the humanities. In fact, with the onset of the Cultural Revolution, the question arises that how did the historical basis of opposition to the human sciences develop and led to the Cultural Revolution (1980)? Answer this question using paradigm of qualitative research and research method is genealogy and the method of data collection is documentary. The findings of the research indicate that the origin of the Cultural Revolution was at a moment when the natural process of Iranian history turned into a fabricated, imposed and artificial project that was implemented as a 1953 coup d’état (28 Mordad coup), and the zero point in the occurrence of the Cultural Revolution was the 6th of August 1332, which was a distinct form and a beginning of confrontation with the West. And spread through the intellectual discourse derived from the humanities and Islamic sciences. The result of this study was that the Cultural Revolution was the culmination of the Western counterfeit reaction in the 1953 coup d'état, the Cultural Revolution is not a new page in Iranian history. The lines are the same as the one on December 6th.
