Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow of Islamic Republic& the Day before Yesterday and the Day after Tomorrow of Fardidians: Fardidians Place in Islamic Republic Discourse

It was not common to talk about Fardid and Fardidians in public circles till some people talked about their sense of violence and dangerousness of them and trying to take power in their hand in Islamic Republic. At this time Fardidians tried to clarify their identity and explain their relations with the Islamic Republic. “Kheradname Hamshahri” issue which published in Mehr 1386 was one of these attempts. Discussing again of the Fardidians issue and their relations to the Islamic Republic, this article tries to answer following questions:What is the stance of Fardidians toward western civilization and how they criticize it? What is the relation of Fardidians with the Islamic Revolution? What is the place of Fardidians’ discourse in Islamic Republic? What kind of obstacles can make of expanding Fardidians’ tradition in the way of developing of anti-western discourse of Islamic Republic? (Which is the result of Imam Khomeini& Shahid Motahari’s view?) To answer these questions, first we mentioned the ideas of Fardidians with emphasis on their views on “Islamic Republic” and “science and modern technology”, and then we compare their views on the West with Imam Khomeini& Shahid Motahari’s thoughts. We conclude that seyyed Ahmad Fardid’s discourse is different with Imam’s. Although some times fardid’s discourse has contributed to the Islamic Revolution but because of dominance of the west criticism especially in Heideggerian narrative, this discourse can not applicable in today’s Islamic Republic. I believe that in current situation of the Islamic Republic and regarding to declining of religious intellectuality, we should refer to Imam Khomeini & Shahid Motahari’s view instead of discussing about fardid’s views on intellectual project of Islamic Republic. In my point of view, fardid’s tradition because of some reasons which are inherent in it can halt the intellectual project of Islamic republic.
