How to read and understand historical texts, especially in the field of philosophy and political thought, has always been one of the main concerns of researchers in this field. Because of the fear of persecution of governments on one hand, and the fear of the consequences of the general public's acquaintance with philosophical ideas on the other hand, have usually been the two main reasons for philosophers to write esoterically. There are different methods have been presented in the form of different hermeneutic branches to understand the purposes and intentions of writers and political philosophers, each of which has its own strengths and weaknesses. One of these unknown methods in Iran is the method proposed by the contemporary political philosopher Leo Strauss under the title of esoteric writing or reading/writing between the lines. In this article, I attempt to extract the generalities of this method and to describe its advantages and capacities in reading and understanding classical philosophical texts.

The generality and determinism of modern political society is a central issue in the present article. We have shown that modern political philosophy, due to the multiplicative nature of society, has become two camps of totalitarians in one hand and pluralists and non-believers on the other. But in our political society, despite the intensifying emergence of social pluralities, we are still locked in a homogeneous and generalized understanding of political society. Considering Mulla Sadra's role in founding contemporary Islamic political thought in Iran, we claim the possibility of reading Mulla Sadra's theory of unity of existence, which provides the possibility of considering the whole of political society simultaneously with the acceptance of individuality and otherness in its modern sense. In this reading, we draw on Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic model alongside the theory of Emmanuel Levinas, who can think of the capabilities of the text to solve our society's current problem and address zeal.

This article focuses on the issue of authority and its relation to the modern free subject in Iran today. The hypothesis of the paper is that the political organization of the Iranian society from the time of the arrival of modern times, with the exception of a model, is not possible with a model of the relation between the authority and the subject of the modern society. The failure of this model has been an explanatory factor of political legitimacy in modern Iran. Of course, various attempts have been made to construct this duality in such a way that it can be argued that only ideas in the political arena of Iran have played a role in establishing a relationship between the modern Iranian subject and a model of political authority. In this article, the author tries to demonstrate that the intellectual heritage deriving from Dr. Ali Shariati's thoughts, although he himself needs to be criticized, provides a preliminary plan for rethinking political authority and modern subjects in today's Iran. This article specifically explores the relation between subject and authority in Dr. Shariati's thoughts.
