Increasing development of new science in west and acquaintance of intelligentsia and scholars of our Islamic country with these accomplishments, have made this pre-assumption that any viewpoint in the Islamic-Iranian intellectual tradition can not be posed as a “progressive” viewpoint in various theoretical science, and technologies.

At this assemblage, we acquainted with current western semantic ideologies and their achievements. Acquaintance with these accomplishments on the one hand, is very essential, on the other hand, may create this delusion that listing any issues about meaning should be offered through theoretical frame of current semantic accomplishments.

In technological area, somehow it might be confirmed; however in the area of theoretical science it is less acceptable.
