Abstract | According to Westernization theory of R. Davari Ardakhni, the only way to get rid of underdevelopment is to undergo modernization, although underdevelopment phenomena has emerged in non-western countries because of modernization of Europe. M. T. Tabatabaei has formulated this paradoxical situation of underdevelopment theoretically, and summarized the critics’ views of Westernization as called theoretical rupture in Davari’s thought. Tabatabaei commented on Davari’s theoretical rupture critique and refuted it by demarking intellectual level from philosophical one. This article firstly, claims that the philosophical problem of underdevelopment paradox is not answered properly, and secondly, redefines the problem as closedness of development and seeks to find a way to come out of it, using Davari’s hints himself, stressing the role of science in this regard. Therefore, first, Davari’s works are studied and notes are taken about the underdevelopment specifications, and the conditions of participation of underdeveloped countries in scientific paradigms. Then, according to Davari’s hints to the conditions of contributing in scientific paradigms, we try to use the philosophy and metaphysics of science theories and concepts, in order to resolve the closedness paradox of underdevelopment. |
