Abstract :

Traditionalism and Nasr are among the currents of thought that are still alive and dynamic and are improving their position in the intellectual and philosophical circles of the world. Hence, to ignore it is, in fact, to ignore a new philosophical trend. The present research raises the question that traditionalists like Seyyed Hossein Nasr use what intellectual bases to plan, discuss and criticize the current political and social situation? It intends to analyze Nasr's thought in various epistemological, ontological, anthropological, sociological and epistemological aspects. Therefore, the aim of the research was to familiarize with the main angles of Nasr's thought, which after much effort led to the conclusion that Seyyed Hossein Nasr and his friends are seeking to make the entire system of knowledge legal and find a sacred identity. They are trying hard to establish the idea that such an identity with the existence of the holy God spreads to all areas and gives sanctity to man, society, politics, government and their final destination, which is the final production and establishment of a kind of conservative ideology.
