Abstract
This paper tries to explain the historical stauts of man and it is inspired by Heidegger's "postmodern" conception of ecstatic time (man's actions are always entangled in temporal determinations which provide him with the chance to transcend). According to Heidegger, the thought of death helps him to free himself from the selflessness of "the They" and makes his decision authentic. Such circumstances cannot uncover the object man's decision. In order to do this, requires man to go back to his past in which a number of possibilities are given. Philosophical thinking and the great philosopers also belong in this tradition. When going back to his past, man repeats his heros.
Iranian man can also look at the possibilities of the Iranisn Dasein in its philosophical past. In the authentic view of history, what counts is not what Dasein has acoomplished or has failed to accomplish, but what is at issue is Dasien's possiblities, what he could do but did not and the possibilities which still exist.
The great philosophers of our tradition, Avicenna, Suhrawardi, Mullasadra, Zakaria Razi, Birooni and Avereos have made the thing which counts as our history. With an understanding of their time and age we can understand the difference between our tradition and the modrn and postmodern situation. This way we can open a way out of Western metaphysics, which Heidegger is also trying to accomplish.
