Abstract :

In this article, Imam Khomeini’s political theory is investigated with the Lakatos methodology. His methodology confirms the distinction between a hard core or the original skeleton of investments and experimental propositions confirms as a protective belt for the research program. Regarding this, the claim from this article is that if we understand the system of religious knowledge of Imam Khomeini (R.A.) under the pattern of Lakatos, then the position of political wisdom in this system will be placed at the hard core or the original skeleton. The reason is that “There is a strong ratio of Imam Khomeini (R.A.), among the strains of religious knowledge in the practical system is established”.
