Abstract :
A Survey to the Critical Ideas to "The End of History" Theory of Francis Fukuyama Abstract With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Eastern Centenary, a new ideology should have emerged. Consequently, Francis Fukuyama, with the concept of history from Hegel, published an article titled "The End of History" in The National Interest in 1989, and the named end of the 20th century, the end of history by announcing that humanity has reached the end of history with the victory of liberal democracy over its ideological rivals. In this paper, after introducing the theory of the "End of History", the most important critically acclaimed explanatory-descriptive statements with emphasizing on library and the Internet resources has been examined and concluded that contrary to Fukuyama's view, liberal democracy is not the end of history. But if Suppose, for the time being, that liberal democracy is the best way of governance, this does not necessarily mean the end of history and the last man's way of governing it, and probably with the advancement of human societies, human beings in the future will have better forms of governance that are more consistent with human in nature and justice. Perhaps the reason for the projection of this hypocritical theory of the collapse of communism and Fukuyama's computational error is to ignore other ideologies, especially social democracy, as the powerful rival of liberal democracy and the kind of materialist view he has toward mankind. The crucial point that Fukuyama ignored is that "democracy can also be gained in a context other than liberalism." Keywords: Francis Fukuyama, Theory of The End of History, liberal Democracy, Capitalism, Authoritarian Regimes.
