كسروي از نقد دين ها تا داعيه ي پيامبري

Kasravi, from criticism of Religions to claiming of Prophethood

سخن گفتن در باره ي رويكردهاي ديني كسروي به علت نقدهاي تندش به اديان موجود، چندان آسان نيست. او نه يك نوانديش ديني بود، كه از اصلاحات ديني دفاع كند و نه يك بنيادگراي ديني بود، كه از بازگشت به اصل دين سخن بگويد؛ بلكه او منتقد دين ها بود كه سپس ادعاي پيامبري كرد. بنابراين، مساله اين است كه چرا و چگونه كسروي از نقد دين ها به داعيه داري يك دين جديد پرداخت؟ اين مقاله، با سيري در گفتمان ديني كسروي، به اين نتيجه مي رسد كه وي دين را به مثابه ي چراغ هدايت آدمي براي همه ي جوامع در همه ي دوران ها ضروري مي شمرد؛ اما دين مورد نظر او به سلاح منطق، خرد و علم عصر نياز داشت تا توانائي تفهيم و تبيين آموزه هايش را داشته باشد و همگام با دگرگوني هاي تاريخي متحول گردد. او ادعا مي كرد اديان موجود فاقد چنين خصيصه اي هستند؛ لذا كوشيد تا ديني جديد منطبق با نيازهاي عصر پديد آورد و آن را جانشين دين هاي موجود نمايد. «پاكديني» همان دين ساختگي كسروي است كه او را در قامت يك پيامبر خودساخته آشكار نمود.

To talk about Kasravi’s religious approach is not easy, because of his diatribes against existing religions. He was neither a religious intellectual who support religious reforms nor a religious fundamentalist who talk about the return to the faith but he was a critic of religions who claimed prophethood. So the problem is: why and how Kasravi passed the way from criticism of religions to offering a new religion? This paper by surveying in the religious discourse of Kasravi, concludes that he has considered religion a necessity as a beacon for people in all societies and all periods. But his desired religious needed the logic, reason and new science to be capable for understanding and explaining its teachings and to change consistent with historical transformations. He was claiming that existing religions have no such qualities Thus he tried to create a new religion comply with the requirements of the era and replace it with the existing religions. ‘Pakdini’ (Pure Religious) was the name of Kasravi’s fabricated religion which introduces him as a self-appointed prophet.
