در ستایش خودآیینی و ملی اندیشیدن فارسی 1401

The expansion of the characteristics of the mythical-mystical mentality over the centuries has fueled a fundamental break from historical, philosophical, and political thought and, as a result, stagnation in what Hegel called the "childhood of the soul". In the upcoming research, various examples have been used in order to analyze and measure the manifestations of mythological-mystical discourses in the field of history, society, and politics, as well as why, how, how much, and how they are constructed, in the light of philosophical and literary theories.

However, European researchers also do not completely believe that every concept and manifestation of the nation and the national cause is a product of 19th-century nationalism.
