Abstract

Islamic Revolution In the course of realizing its aspirations, demands to formation of an optimal Islamic state; that state should have the capacity of building the modern Islamic civilization. thus, we can call the present phase of the Islamic revolution, the phase of civilizational statebuilding. The problem is that this stage does not progress as well as we need. the aim of this study is pathology of factors associated with the realization of the desired Islamic state. It seems that the emergence of some cultural barriers in the Shia social life was disrupted the path of civilizational statebuilding. our main question is, what are the obstacles that made the arena of political culture of Shiite more limited in statebuilding phase? our method in this study is the deductive approach and our theoretical framework is taken from the "pattern of the triple analysis of the political thought of Islam". In this study, by researching the two areas of "political belief" and "political ideas", we have dealt with the pathology of the field of political culture that builds the Islamic state and We have shown that on the one hand, "astonishment in the age of absence", "authoritarianism" and "colonialism" have weakened the political beliefs of the Shiites; On the other hand, the "lack of social extension of Islamic philosophy" and the "lack of governmental jurisprudence" have led to the inadequacy of Shiite political thought to build a civilized state.
