Non-Western societies are trying to produce some theories and thoughts in humanities through indigenization of these sciences in order to solve their practical and theoretical problems. The discipline of postcolonial studies is one of the research fields dealing with the problems and cultures of non-Western countries. This critical approach refers to certain theoretical attitudes, which analyze the colonial discourse by laying emphasis on consequences of colonialism. At the same time the discipline of postcolonial studies lays emphasis on indigenous sciences vis-à-vis colonial sciences which have been a tool in the hands of Western colonial powers throughout the colonial history. In fact the deconstruction and de-organization of Western sciences is one of the tools of promotion and expansion of these postcolonial studies. Hence, the discipline of postcolonial studies is a theoretical background for Islamic-indigenous sciences in Iranian society.
