This book studies and analyzes the historical trajectory of states and societies as outlined in the wise revelation. It explores the evolution of human societies from the era of motherhood to fatherhood, and onward to an age of equality and pluralism. The book explains that any monolithic and backward society carries the seeds of its own destruction and agony, providing excuses for external interference, as in the case of colonialism.

After affirming that the wise revelation does not call for the abolition of pluralism and private ownership, it presents a foundational concept in the progression of societies, emphasizing that human history moves forward towards development and pluralism, and the demise of backwardness and singularity. The discussion also includes the emergence of cities, the conflict between the authority of knowledge and the authority of law, along with a discussion on the duality of consultation and freedom in the revelation and other issues.
