"Back to the things themselves" (Zurück Zum Sachen sebst) is a famous idea in the phenomenology that has intensely affected on intellectual traditions in recent century. This paper attempts to understand the concept of "Iran-Consciousness" in Iran's world-life by using fundamental concepts of the phenomenology. Accordingly, it tries to demonstrate historical continution of "Iran" with respect to "Iran-Consciousness" concept by considering Husserl`s constitutive phenomenology and criticizing of modern approaches in terms of national history. Iran, as a subject-matter for Iranians, has always been in present and absent. Having a phenomenological introduction, the researchers’ goal is to extend our cognition regarding to the "Iran" based on the concept of intentionality, and make "Iran" understandable as an Object. Finally, the main focus is related to the early age of modernity in Iran and facing with the west as the "other".
