The historical investigation shows that the problematic of technology and civilization is one of the fundamental issues that were raised especially between the first and second world wars in Germany, and after that history, it has also found a wide resonance in Iran's intellectual space at different times. One of the most important formulations of this issue dates back to the 1950s, when in a wide cultural-political turn from the 1940s to the 1950s, the issue of technology and civilization was placed at the top of the intellectual issues of the government and the opposition. Contrary to the common perception, this issue did not remain at the theoretical level at that point and led to important strategic and executive decisions at the policy and governance levels. Among the most important of these cases is the installation of Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a traditionalist Islamic philosopher, as the vice president of Aryamhar Royal University of Technology (now Sharif) from 1351 to 1354, which has not yet been subjected to historical and analytical evaluation. This research deals with the main question of how to explain the appointment of a traditionalist philosopher as the head of the country's leading technological university at the height of the Pahlavi regime's modernization

Paying attention to the category of elite governance and placing competent and capable people in policy-making and decision-making positions is one of the important and strategic issues in the development and progress of any political and intellectual system. Every political system that aims for progress and excellence must try to identify and employ the most competent and capable people in the arena of political power and entrust the advancement of affairs to them. If the elites and government officials have competence and intelligence in their decision-making, we can undoubtedly hope that they will achieve both the outlined perspectives and material and spiritual progress and the establishment of prosperity and justice, which are among the most basic human ideals. He prepared the necessary grounds and platforms to achieve the new Islamic civilization. In this article, we want to show with the method of thematic analysis, how by making educated and competent people who have the necessary "competence" to assume social responsibilities, the path of the country's progress can be paved and basic steps can be taken in modern Islamic civilization with meritocracy. Our hypothesis is that until meritocracy is institutionalized, it is not possible to reach civilization and take steps in this way. We believe that without meritocracy, the Iranian and Islamic society will never see the face of modern civilization and civilization
