Abstract
The aim of this study is not to establish a correlation between the two scientific disciplines of aesthetics and the Islamic Revolution; rather, the author seeks to provide a methodical response to the question of the quality of constructing major aesthetic values and the possibility of revolutionary identity formation with an Islamic orientation. Research from the past two decades in Islamic aesthetics has been accompanied by a form of partial judgment in the dimensions of aesthetics and its presuppositions. Among the most significant consequences of such an approach are the conflation of natural beauty with artificial beauty, the definition of individual and personal boundaries of human beauty creation, and the negation of its macro and socio-political extension. Accepting beauty as an objective truth independent of humans, the author attempts, with a philosophical approach and a descriptive-analytical method, to justify another realm of beauty that is dependent on humans, validated by their desire and judgment, and has unlimited extensions in human life. This analysis is based on the separation of two domains of beauty: essential beauty and human-made beauty. Based on this axiom, it is possible to speak of the formation of macro-aesthetics in the realm of the Islamic Revolution in a civilizational horizon and to make statements about its nuances.
