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.

Therefore, reducing it to the teachings of political ideologies is impossible and only harmful and destructive. Understanding the phenomenon of "Iran" from the eyes of Europeans, by applying their theories to the history and society of Iran and identifying it with the political units in the geography of West Asia, especially Iran, is quite easy, convenient, unprofitable, and deceptive. 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.
