Abstract
The present paper is an attempt to briefly discuss the viewpoints of the critics of modern politics. The critics of the modern politics of the postmodernists along with communitarians challenge modern politics from a humanistic or modernist viewpoint. On the other hand the traditionalists criticize the modern politics from an illuminative approach, rejecting the extremist scientism and individualism of the
modernists. On the other hand the fundamentalists have committed grave crimes in the name of Islam. The Islamic Revolution in late 1970s through a revelational and Shii approach challenged the modern politics of he East and West, opening a new horizon in man's life. Since the Islamic Revolution defined itself in the light of the bright horizon of Mahdism, it negated the theory of the end of history or the
totality of the West and on the other hand defined itself within the framework Wilayat Faqih
