Benedetto Croce, the Italian philosopher of history said:
"Every history is contemporary history", which means that the historian continuously writes history from the perspective of his time..
Of course, this does not mean that the historian explains the materials of the past with the concepts of the new era, but it means that the meaning of many historical events and especially the emergence of new forms of consciousness cannot be understood and explained except in the course of historical transformations..
The origin of the new Iranian historiography and of course the condition for explaining its theoretical foundations is the emergence of the new consciousness of the Iranian man, and only with the emergence of this new consciousness and the possibility of establishing it, the order of time in the history of Iran and its order as the periods of Iranian history will be clear and meaningful. It will be possible.
