Abstract
Like other modern sciences, current humanities are the result of the thought that was formed in the late 16th and early 17th centuries during the age of enlightenment. These sciences with the same background and characteristics were gradually imported to Iran and offered to students until the Islamic Revolution. However, the Islamic Revolution was the ushering of a thought based on religious principles and committed to Islamic values. Clearly, this approach requires its own humanities. Given the fact that policymaking for any problem requires knowledge of its different aspects and elements, the thoughts of the supreme leader of Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, as a Muslim thinker who has been making endeavors in this regard from the pre-revolution years till date, can be a suitable background for development of a conceptual model for bringing about change in humanities. Employing grounded theory, 38 speeches and 6 letters of the Leader have been analyzed and finally five main categories have been extracted. Based on implications of the critical statements and solutions offered by the Leader, characteristics of the institution of ideal humanities in three dimensions, i.e. structure, content and actors, were inferred. The compatibility of science and religion, special attention to Islamic humanities, improvement of educational methods, and suitable research activities are among ideal structural features. Self-confidence, innovation, Islamism, high incentive and talent are the characteristics of ideal human force. And, being Islamic and indigenous are the characteristics of the content of ideal humanities.
