In his numerous works, Shariati mentions the concept of stupefaction profusely. In this article, the author deals with the issue of how this concept is different from or similar to the concepts such as "colonization", "exploitation", "imperialism", "alienation", "assimilation", or "demagoguery". In other words, is "stupefaction" equivalent to "demagoguery" or "alienation" or is it a concept invented by Shariati to explain a social situation? In Shariati's view, the concept of "demagoguery" is closely related to the organization of the social situation in the context of human society. This situation is not just a psychological modality, but it is related to the subjective-objective structures of society and social institutions within the framework of human actions. In other words, when Shariati mentions "stupefaction", he uses a sociological language for making an inquiry into the visible and invisible structures of society, rather than merely expressing a mental state in a person who suffers from behavioral disorders. The method of study in this article is the method of text analysis.
