Abstract :
Fereydoun Adamit is one of the most important historians of contemporary Iranian history. He can be considered a "historian of progress" in Iran, because in most of his works, the reference to the principles of modernity and progressivism and in monographs, the reference to the most important Iranian progressives represent this issue. His attitude towards tradition and identity as well as the elements of modernity in his writings is very important, because an important part of historical knowledge about the history of modernity in the Qajar era is derived from his works or is influenced by his works. This article seeks to answer the question of what has been humanity's approach to modernity? Humanity considered the idea of progress from the West as the main field of progress in Iran and analyzed it with its historical studies, considering first-class documents and writings. In order to gain an understanding of his historical thought as well as his modernist historiography by analyzing his writings on modernity.
