Abstract
Introduction
The subject of this research is adjusting the culture of self-righteousness with teaching the culture of diversity, which ranges from ideological totalitarianism to reflective interactions in philosophical hermeneutics
 
Method
In this research, the analytical-inferential method of qualitative research was used. After examining the theoretical foundations and explaining ideology and its possibility and how it affects the formation of self-righteous culture, philosophical hermeneutics has been used to moderate this phenomenon
 
Results
The polarized schemas of the specific group, which is induced by authoritarian and totalitarian information tools, have formed the knowledge and social attitude of the citizens and the implementation of that mental model, in the role of behavior model with Otherwise, it is induced. The difference between this citizen and the powerful group is only in the possibility of implementing authority, otherwise both minds are similar. The manifestation of this culture is visible in continuity, from the general policies of the departments to the interpersonal relationships of people.
 
Discussion
It will be easy to claim that philosophical hermetotics with the element of combining intellectual horizons (instead of the positive "self" and the negative other), and in the process of free me and you reflective interactions, can moderate this social syndrome to some extent. , and there should be a balance between rights and duties. But the age is the age of the life of ideologies, not reflective interactions; Realistic planning is the ability to live in the age of ideology. By redefining and expanding the meaning of "self", inspired by concepts such as judgment, taste and common sense from the central concepts of philosophical hermeneutics, it is possible to provide the ground for entering the culture of alterity from within the culture of self-righteousness. The details of this matter are given in the article.
