Abstract
Emphasizing the necessity of the reproduction of legitimacy of a dominant political system through an active, constant, and multi-perspectival criticism in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the paper deals with the relationship between criticism and explanation. Afterwards, presenting a realistic explanation of the revolution and its numerous layers, some criteria have been proposed for criticizing the Islamic Republic of Iran. Then, with respect to the seven criteria of criticism, there is a discussion over the basics of criticism, and, finally, three periods of criticism have been identified in the Islamic Republic of Iran (i.e. intra-discursive, silence and justification, extra-discursive).
