My works
Research and study is an integral part of my identity because I have gained the meaning of life in this way.
In this section, I try to refer to the works that I have published according to their publication date, and also to write my purpose for writing each one. Moreover, I intend to have a brief introduction on some of the main ideas in each. I also would like to describe the research works of mine that are under publication or that are to be published in future.

Modern Barbarism: a Reflection on the Present and Future of ISIS (2016)
This book was compiled in Tehran, 2016. You can find it in the National Library of Iran. Ghalam Strategic Studies Research Institute is the publisher of this book. In this research, which is a collective work, I made a serious endeavor to collect the existing theories about the ISIS phenomenon. My main mission in this research has been only collecting rather than criticizing the theories. The results of this study were highly acceptable and made my research published in this book along with professional researchers. In this research, I divided the theories of ISIS studies into anthropological, psychological, political, contextual, and ideological classifications. In these classifications, there are researchers and thinkers such as Erich Fromm (1980-1900), Graham Fuller (1937), Arie Kruglanski (1939), John Horgan (1974), Max Abraham, Ernest Becker (1974-1924), Noam Chomsky (1928), Slavoj Žižek (1949), Davood Feirahi (1966-2020), Seyyed Javad Tabatabai (1945-2023), and Qadir Nasri.
An Introduction to the Understanding of the Life World (2017)
This book was published in Tehran in 2017. I have dedicated this book to Nietzsche. Its main theme is called Hermeneutics of Life, which is a scientific and critical method that I have made with an inspiration from three thinkers, namely Edmund Husserl, Sigmund Freud, and Wilhelm Dilthey. My main effort in this book was to have..
Beyond the Organization and Ideology of ISIS (2018)
This book was published in Tehran in 2018. Arish Publications took responsibility for its publication. It was actually a more comprehensive version of my master’s thesis, which was written in the field of terrorism studies. In this book, I attempted (as the title suggests) to look beyond the ideology and organization of ISIS and write what I perceived about this phenomenon..
Some Notes on the Logic of Discovery of Collective Unconscious (2020)
This book was published in Tehran in 2020. Arish Publications has been responsible for publishing it. It is actually a scholarly attack on the foundations of human sciences. Also, I tried to review the basic principles of life hermeneutics very generally and quickly in this book. At the outset of this book, I have included some words of wisdom, including my deep observations and reflections on Iranian society..
The Logic of Emotions and our Cultural Life (2020)
This research was published in Tehran in the winter of 2020. Its publication was done by the Iranian Association for Cultural Studies and Communication, which is considered one of the scientific (non-governmental) circles of cultural studies of Tehran University. This research was published in the magazine number 17 of this association. I was the scientific manager of the project in this research, which included 4 interviews with Iranian thinkers, 5 notes from top humanities researchers, and a book introduction..
My pieces of research, which are under publication, include:
Why Assholeness?
This book is a collective research, which is supposed to be published at the end of 2023. My responsibility in this project was to conduct two interviews with first-rate Iranian humanities researchers. Therefore, I was responsible for compiling and editing two interviews of this book. TISA Publishing House in Tehran has had the responsibility of its publication. In fact, the book is a research about this question: Why Xavier Kerment’s book, entitled Asshole No More; The Original Self-Help Guide for Recovering Assholes and Their Victimshas been welcomed in Iran and has attracted many readers? Moreover, in the interviews I conducted, I tried to ask questions and debate about the nature of science and howness of the Iranian identity and culture. This book can provide a good understanding of modern Iranian culture and the scientific method of studying this culture, as a subject of Iranian humanities.
The Logic of Discovery in The Human World
This project is a book wherein I intend to mature the hermeneutic theory of life that I first published in 2017. My goal in this book is to stabilize the hermeneutics of life as a scientific method in the humanities.
Collective Unconscious in Nietzsche's Thought
This study, which is in my future program, will be a comparative study between the psychoanalytic school of Carl Gustav Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche. In this article, I am trying to extract a practical concept from Nietzsche that can be used to explain an important social phenomenon.
ISIS Mechanism
This study is among the heaviest ones that I have done so far. In this article, I intend to publish my mature ideas about terrorism. In fact, in the ISIS mechanism study, I aim to present a framework for the systematic analysis of terrorist phenomena. This theoretical framework will have the power to predict uprisings similar to the ISIS phenomenon around the world. For this reason, it can help protect peace in the world.
