In this research project, the various approaches of Iranian intellectuals to modernity and the West concept will be studied.

In the years following the Islamic revolution in 1979, intellectuals with a variety of worldviews and discourses concerning modernity and the West will be studied. The primary indices and distinguishing criteria will be compared through discourse analysis, and ultimately, a classification and categorization of the numerous discourses among them will be studied. Research includes Karl Manheim's sociology of intelligence theory.

By using this method, every text will be read through the other steps ( fragmentation, deep analysis, coding, and assumption). The interpretative scheme, classification, phenomenal structures, and narrative structures are part of the process.
