ما بعد بنيوية جاك دريدا : مقاربة نقدية استنادا إلى آراء العلامة الطباطبائي

Abstract EN

This essay is a critical study of Jacques Derrida’s post-structuralism within the domain of the philosophy of religion according to the views of Sayyed Tabataba’i.

Religious knowledge according to Jacques Derrida in the framework of the post-structural approach to the philosophy of religion does not strive -when examining the topics of this philosophy (such as the presence of God)- to reach the truth at all.

The reason is that Derrida does not believe in the presence of a reality which man uncovers through the demonstrative method.

According to Derrida, through the emphasis on secrecy, the life of the religious command is preserved.

Even though Sayyed Tabataba’i recognizes that the human mind faces limitedness in theological philosophy, he is not willing to forsake thinking which is harmonious and coupled with the utilization of rational proof to discover the reality of the religious command.

Epistemological multiplicity, instability in meaning, and doubt in intuition are among the problems which face Jacques Derrida’s viewpoint.

Sayyed Tabataba’i considers that reality possesses a structure and a harmonious composition which man can discover through rationalism.

He completely refuses Jacques Derrida’s relative outlook on reality, and believes that the line of knowledge in the philosophy of religion reaches its purpose and end by the absoluteness and totality of reality.
