Abstract

This article has been written on November 2022 in the middle of the event of woman, life, freedom in Iran. To write in the middle of an event is the possibility to write about the situation of the now, while the ordinary stream of history has been disrupted and the situation of the future is complex and subtle. Therefore, to write in the middle of an event, for the situation of the now, makes possible probabilistic analysis. The singularity of writing in the middle of an event is the probabilistic feature assigned to the analysis. Thus, studying the function of the event of woman, life, freedom is the main object of the article. For this, we use an abductive reason to suggest a possible function for the event of woman, life, freedom. Based on the theoretical and data-based reasons we analyze the possible function of the event of woman, life, freedom to occupy the Islamic public sphere.
