Abstract

An analysis of the statements and writings of officials and thinkers about the Islamic-Iranian Model of Progress (IIMP) shows most of them believe steps must be taken secretly and behind each other to achieve this model. The first step is to compile all the elements of Islamic-Iranian philosophy. The second step is to form the components of Islamic-Iranian science based on this philosophy. The third step is to realize the Islamic-Iranian technology based on this science. Steps are being taken to shape Islamic-Iranian culture and civilization. But a study of the history of human civilizations shows that this view is incompatible with the evolutionary nature of society, and that no human society has ever followed such a path. An alternative approach is the spiral approach of realizing the IIMP. In this approach, movement begins in all areas; Whether in philosophy, science, etc., the movement begins in a new axis, and it does not begin with one of them. These areas have a spiral motion in their evolution. That is to say, Islamic-Iranian philosophy is like a puzzle whose pieces has been made and completed at different times, and after a long time, a picture called Iranian Islamic philosophy has been completed and known by this nature. And in addition to making pieces of philosophy, pieces of science, technology, industry, etc. are made at the same time. The third characteristic is all these areas affect each other, and any action in any area affects the next steps in other areas.
