Abstract Abstract
 
In the turbulent relations between U.S and Iran, America’s sanction-based approach against Iran is considerable. These sanctions enjoy a three decade history (from Carterera) and had fluctuation in different periods. In other worlds, the pattern of that policyhas changes in three periods: the cold war era, post-cold war era, and the aftermath of September11.  This paper  (according to the constructivism approach) proposed a new explanation for U.S sanction policy against Iran and the main hypothesis is that the policy in the past eras  was progressive and too realistic but shows gradual improvements in its elements  of constructivism.

Abstract
 
Virtues have the main rule in managing Social and Political Life;  hence, the following question is important: If there be an opposition between different Virtues, which one should – or could – be  preferred? In this paper, author tries to analyze the relationship between Liberty and Security, and suggest two models in this regard. This two models  developed by Islamic- Iranian discourse  can be labeled Negative and positive.
 Security is the main virtue in Negative Model but Liberty is the major one, in the Positive Model. Therefore, author has designed a complex model which is biased on two different principles: Power (in negative model) and Satisfaction (in positive model).

Abstract Envy and politics; Nozick vs. Rawls
 
Seyd Reza Mosavi*
 
(Received: 2014/Jone/17 – Accept: 2014/Octobr/27)
 
 
Abstract
 
In order to create a fair and neutral position Rawls disregards the psychological features such as altruism and envy that might influence the establishment of the principle of justice.  It is however worth noting that in this process Rawls takes the principle of mutually disinterested principle in original position for granted. RobertNozick as Rawls’s intellectual rival who is among the founders of the libertarian school criticizes Rawls on the ground that Rawls’s initiation not only is not fair and neutral it is not in fact conformant to the human’s nature. Removal of envy from the original position is regarded as indefensible by Nozick because he believes that all features and qualifications of human nature should be considered in a political theory. However, Nozick claims that envy is not completely absent in Rawls’s theory. He believes that the principle of difference introduces envy to Rawls’s theory.This article examinesNozick’s criticisms and analyses his defense of the essentiality of envy in the development of a theory of justice. It also investigates whether Rawls’s theory of justice will itself create the envy. The methodological framework employed in this paper for the examination of the views of Rawls and Nozick is comparison and analysis of the content.

Abstract 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.
