چرا آمریکا دموکراسی شد اما بسیاری از انقلاب‌ها به استبداد رسیدند؟

What is the relationship between the Age of Enlightenment, the American Revolution, and the birth of modern democracy? Was the United States born simply with a war of independence, or was there a greater revolution in the world of thought before that? In this special interview on Rahgosha Channel, Mohammad Manzarpour hosts Dr. Rasoul Nafisi, a professor of philosophy and political science thinker. Nafisi explores the philosophical roots of American independence in 1776; from John Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Voltaire to classical republicanism, the social contract, natural rights, the separation of powers, and the rule of law. In this program, by referring to research sources from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and research on the philosophy of the American Constitution, we examine how the Age of Enlightenment transformed the modern world and why its ideas still influence politics, the constitution, civil liberties, and democracy around the world. We also address important questions: 🔹 What exactly was the Enlightenment and how did it begin? 🔹 Why did the Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, and the philosophy of rationalism change the course of history? 🔹 How did John Locke establish the theory of natural rights and the social contract? 🔹 Why did Montesquieu consider the separation of powers a condition for preventing tyranny? 🔹 Why did the founding fathers of America choose the rule of law instead of the rule of individuals? 🔹 What is the difference between a republic, democracy, and liberalism? 🔹 Was the American Revolution the most successful product of the Age of Enlightenment? 🔹 Why did the French, Haitian, and Latin American Revolutions have different outcomes? 🔹 What objections did Marx, Hegel, and other critics of the Enlightenment make to this project? 🔹 Has Iran ever had a similar experience to the Enlightenment? 🔹 If a new constitution is ever written in Iran, what lessons can be learned from the American experience of 1776? This program is not simply a narrative of American history; Rather, it is an attempt to understand the fundamental question of how ideas can change the fate of nations and whether Iranian society also needs an “Iranian Enlightenment” to transition to rule by law?
