"Sociology of Autocracy" or "Sociological Analysis of Dahhak Mardosh" is a work written by "Ali Reza Qoli" that begins with the question of why autocrats come to power one after another in Iranian society and repeat its social and political consequences at the level of society. "Ali Rezaqoli" answers this question along with many other sociological aspects by criticizing the story of Dahhak from the Shahnameh.
"Sociology of autocracy" examines a system in which a person ignores the rules, or in other words, violates the usual civil laws, and only imposes his wishes. In such a system, there is always a relationship based on fear between the ruler and the people. In the story of Dahhak Mardosh, by setting him as an example of an autocratic king who feeds on the brains of the youth, Ferdowsi presented the idea of establishing a justice-oriented military and the rule of the judge alongside people who are justice-loving and aware of different dimensions of society. He considers it ideal.
However, despite such a worldview and meaningful stories such as the story of Dahhak, even years after Ferdowsi, rulers like Agha Mohammad Khan and Naseruddin Shah ruled over Iran, and this authoritarian structure is constantly repeated. "Ali Rezaqoli" explains the different dimensions of this event in the book "Sociology of Autocracy" and examines the traces of this continued tyranny in the ancient history of Iran. He has analyzed the causes and effects in the system of thought and politics, and under the shadow of modern sociological theories, he puts autocracy under the microscope from the root to the surface.
