Abstract
This study aims to recognize the possibility of it in the cultural history of Iran. Delving into the Pre-Bronze and Post-Bronze Age historical eras, we intend to discover the manifestations of feminine knowledge in the mentioned historical period, finding the signs of its permanence in later epochs. In doing so, we have taken the sociology of knowledge into account. The study's method is centered on the historiographical reading of explanatory history texts, which are primarily based on the intersection of two dialectical and hermeneutic approaches, namely the constant interaction between the authors’ subjectivity and the objective history. The study examines the conditions which have led to the emergence of feminine knowledge and its elements in various terrains. This includes theology as the most superior knowledge of any age, myths, mythological theology in the agricultural era and the formation of societies based on that, changes in those theologies, myths after the migration of Aryan, establishing societies rests on State Central. Study indicates how femininity has been altered in these theologies passing such components.
Iranian feminine knowledge is primarily centered on "the principality of life and its wisdom", "interwoven subject/object of knowledge pattern," "positional subject," "circular perception of time," and "perception of immortality in material and natural life." Discovering vernacular feminine knowledge patterns rooted in its historical and social foundations, in comparison with the use of non-historical and essentialist theoretical models, will lead to understand and interpret as unbiased as possible the history of Iran, Iranian women and the feminine knowledge.
