One way to learn how to write an academic article is by analyzing some good and effective articles and taking lessons from them. In this way, I have chosen two articles from two different political positions, i.e. “The End of History” by Francis Fukuyama from the Right and “Modernity, Unfinished/Incomplete Project” by Jürgen Habermas from the Left. The prime purpose of this paper is to provide a translation and summary of Fukuyama’s article and the second objective is to analyze the text for extracting some theses, assumptions, research questions , etc. and finally is to compare these lessons with those that I have learned from analyzing the Habermas’s article (that I have published in a philosophical academic journal “Hekmat Va Falsafeh”). The author shows how these experiences can provide some criteria for writing academic articles and evaluating them. As we see in this paper, identifying a radical thesis, supporting it with convincing evidence and reasons and making a contribution to the body of knowledge, is the most characteristic feature of a good and academic article. Furthermore, we show that how two articles can be used as interdisciplinary methods for developing themes and ideas in a discourse.

Jurgen Habermas is among thinkers of critical school that is hard to limit him to a domain specific knowledge. With research in his works , it becomes obvious that he belongs to the several cognitive domains such as philosophy ,sociology, psychology and linguistics simultaneously. Habermas bends several scientific field for solving the human problems that result of it was the theory of self-confidence,and theory of communicative action. This two theory show synthesis from different knowledge. so theory of interdisciplinary is one of the main characteristics of critical theory of Jurgen Habermas for releasing modern society from domination of power and wealth. Hence, this article tries to show different knowledge sources (philosophy of mind, philosophy of history, critical philosophy, sociology of knowledge, political sociology,…) also represents how to integrate them in integrated and innovative approach. فه
