Abstract :
Ali Shariati's thoughts had a profound impact on Iran's political and social developments. One of his main works was emphasizing on the element of social responsibility in political behavior. In this framework, he redefined politics and related concepts. In this research, we have examined the theoretical foundations of Shariati's reading of politics, especially the theory of ummah and imamate, and in this framework we have answered the main question: How did Shariati redefine the main political concepts? The findings of the research show that in redefining political concepts, Shariati was influenced by the critical approach on one hand and the discourse of social democracy on the other hand. he attempt to combine both with the elements of the Shia theory of ummah and imamate and redefine political concepts in this framework. In conducting this research, the necessary information was collected through the library method and inferred using the qualitative method and descriptive-analytical approach.
