Abstract :
Recognizing the concept of committed democracy in political thought Dr. Ali Shariati Ali MirzaeeDr. Darab Fouladi Dr. Omid Ali Ahmadi Abstract:Ali Shariati as an intellectual in various fields in the field of contemporary Iranian thought has taken great steps and has appeared as an author thinker. The part of his intellectual production that has had a profound effect on the political and social developments of our country has been the introduction of the element of social responsibility and the concept of "commitment" to the dictionary of intellectuals and political action. To do this, he redefined politics and related concepts. In this research, researchers have examined the theoretical foundations and background of Shariati's reading of politics, especially the theory of ummah and imamate or committed democracy. In the meantime, the main question that has been the focus of the research is which macro-political approach has been influenced by Shariati in the conceptualization of committed democracy and what have been its theoretical consequences. Findings show that Shariati has been influenced by the social democracy approach in conceptualizing committed democracy and his attempt to integrate it with elements of the Shiite school is to present a theory of Imamate and redefining political concepts has led to this framework. In the process of conducting this research, the necessary information has been collected through the library method and has been inferred using a descriptive-analytical method. Keywords: Ali Shariati, Politics, Committed Democracy, Social Democracy, Nation and Imamate.
