Abstract From Qajar until now, the conflict between tradition and modernity became an insoluble equation for the country. The Fardidiyeh movement has a Heideggerian approach and its prominence is a radical opposition to modernity. The purpose of this work is to know why the Faridiyeh movement opposes modernity. Using the method of discourse analysis, the investigation showed: In the discourse of modernity, material ontology and the rationality of the subsistence mentality were opposed to the existential ontology and the rationality of the resurrectionist. In modernity, the central sign of humanism and signs such as scientism, technology, capitalism, individualism, freedom, liberalism, Protestantism, human rights, secularism and democracy found meaning with it. The central signifier of Fardidiyeh's discourse was the conscious and obligated human heart. Signs of sacred science, denial of technology (manifestation of human soul authority), denial of capitalism (manifestation of human selfishness), denial of secularism (loss of the concept of God and deification of man), Quranic wisdom, freedom of soul, Islamic human rights and God's rule, were detailed. And made a difference. In the political theory of modernity, the demand for maximum welfare and freedom for man, but the Fardidiyeh trend denied any tolerance and tolerance towards the subject itself, the foundation.
