Iranian Journal of Sociology

Abstract In this article, we would like to study the works of four prominent figures of religious fundamentalism in contemporary Iran and to achieve a pattern that represents the theoretical elements of this kind of political Islamism. To do this, the thematic analysis is used. Here, the text data is described, organized and interpreted and then the categories are driven from it. When the common categories are found, they are supported thematically. This process continues until a local and thematic pattern is designed. This pattern which is located in the scope of Iranian political sociology represents the ideas of social and political elites and actors of fundamentalism in Iran.
