Abstract :

In the Pahlavi period, there were many intellectuals and modernists who either belonged to the older generation of the intellectual current or were themselves newly educated young students who continued to express their views until later years. The first iranian intellectuals put titles such as conditionalism, social equality, politicalpluralism and nationalism at the top of their goals and aspirations and their goal was to reform and ultimately change the current political system, but for the second generation of intellectuals, political authoritarianism and iranian nationalism were the necessary driving force to advance their ideals and goals which emerged in the form of an authoritarian person like REZA KHAN.But in REZA SHAH’s advisory hall, there were people like TIMURTASH, DAVAR, and NUSRATULLAH FIROOZ who played a major role in the political currents of the country in the uniformityof authoritarian state.The method of this research is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection in this research is library. Among the findings of the research, we can mention the formation of an atmosphere of intimidation and terror, the possibility and opportunity of any intellectual and enlightenment activity was lost, the end result of which was the isolation of intellectuals and political elites of that period.
