Postmodernism, as the current which has emerged out of developments in the modern world, and by enjoying the critical discourse of modernity, has created many effects on various spheres, including in the political arena. In this research, by raising this question that, what is the relation between post-modernism and politics, this hypothesis is formulated that, postmodernism, when implemented in politics, under the influence of relativistic attitudes in the ontological, epistemological and ethical spheres, offers a cynical and skeptical approach to power and rule, which leads to suspension the possibility of any political judgment or political action. In order to test this hypothesis, and by taking advantage of a coherent conceptual framework, first, the genealogy of this current, based on modernity’s process of change and evolution, is investigated and then, by analyzing different aspects of postmodern though in the realm of ontological, epistemological, ethics and politics, the consequences of this approach, on the political and related areas of power and politics, are analyzed.

The root of the nature, the reasons and the quality of sociopolitical leaders' thought is hidden in their epistemological system. Understanding this system helps to recognize the influential components in analyzing sociopolitical issues from the viewpoint of the person. Although there are many scientific works regarding the thoughts of Ayatollah Khamenei, there has not been a work which investigates his epistemological system in analyzing sociopolitical issues. Using a descriptive-analytical method and having an epistemological approach, seeks to discover the epistemological system of Ayatollah Khamenei in sociopolitical issues. In answering the question that what criteria Ayatollah Khamenei uses in analyzing sociopolitical issues, we came to the conclusion that his epistemological system analyzes the sociopolitical issues by relying on the four processes of recognition that is the possibility of recognizing political issues, the capability of accepting the truth or falsehood of political events, the possibility of recognizing the true political event from the false one and the relationship between political events. The most important distinction of his epistemological system from that of other political analysts is the combination of experiential data with logical evaluations and revelational adjustment.

Abstract In this paper, it is tried to put a comparative analysis on the thought of Nietzsche and Iqbal Lahori in four bases of epistemology, ontology, methodology and purpose of anthropology. Nietzsche is in conflict with any of the first three, but inevitably signs of recognition can be found about the four abovementioned elements in his thoughts. Irrationalepistemology, is based on the concept of atheism and nihilist; instinctive- methodology relies on intuition, instinct or intuition heaven- and anthropology naturalist relies on the concept of Nietzsche against love oriented epistemology, ontology integrated, hybrid methodology consisting of intellect, science and illumination and anthropological interest is love oriented. The main question here is: what are theDifference and similarity between Nietzsche and Iqbal in four vertices? They thought that the basic outline of the original claims, are largely different, but also overlap with each other. Understanding these basics is urgent to comprehend the political philosophy of the both thinkers.
