Ma`rifat Siyasi

The Leader of the Revolution has repeatedly emphasized the theory of resistance as a comprehensive strategy and has elaborated on its dimensions. This article aims to reprocess this theory from a philosophical perspective and demonstrate how it can be formulated using concepts rooted in the tradition of Islamic philosophy. In the first section, the "Theory of the Haqq System " is presented as the theoretical framework. In the second section, after explaining the meaning of "resistance," the concept of "conflict" is examined as the first philosophical concept, and conflict is explained at four fundamental levels of the existence of the world. Then, "reconciliation" (as proposed by Ayatollah Khamenei) is philosophically elaborated as an advanced state of conflict to utilize its outcomes in the idea of resistance. In the third section, the ontological foundations previously discussed are extended into the theory of resistance and its components. The discussion begins with the "philosophy of suffering," and the keyword "patience" is introduced as the foundational concept of the theory of resistance. We then explain how resistance leads to the existential intensification of both the individual and society. Finally, we discuss the essential aspects of adopting a strategy of resistance and its fundamental benefits, so the most important elements of this theory are reprocessed from a philosophical standpoint.
