Popis: The subject of social changes has been always one of the main serious issues among social scientists and there have been many discussions about it in the history of social thought. The change of society against order and stability, change mechanism and its explanation, evolution and the goal of change in societies, and the like have been controversially discussed so far. Shahid Morteza Motahari as a Muslim social scientist and philosopher and with the help of religious principles and Islamic philosophy has analyzed the current related ideas, raised his own opinion, and opened up a new horizon in terms of analyzing and explaining social changes in reference to the Islamic principles. The most differences between the Shahid Motahari's ideas and the others' are to go beyond the material explanation of change in society, to explain the role of spiritual causes in the creation of change, to criticize the subjectivism of change mechanism, and to gather individual-oriented and social-oriented theories. He believes that the change is necessary in the mankind's life and on the one hand, he emphasizes the role of the mankind's primary and secondary needs included by the role of science and will, in the creation of change connected to principles of Islamic anthropology and on the other hand, he focuses on the importance of environmental and social conditions in the creation of change. By documentary method and the techniques of analysis of qualitative content, this paper attempted to describe the Shahid Motahari's theory about social change and then to explain change mechanism in terms of his principles of social philosophy and anthropology.
