Abstract
一般論文イラン人の宗教学者で哲学者のモルタザー・モタッハリー(1920-1979)が『よき人々の物語(Dāstān-e Rāstān)』の編集を決意した動機として、彼がウィリアム・ ジェームズ同様、宗教・倫理的な判断はきわめて主観的になされるので、この弊害を回避する必要があると考えたことが推測できる。モタッハリーはジェームズと直接的な接触はなかったが、前者は翻訳であるとはいえ、確実に後者の著作を読んでいた。モタッハリーがジェームズの影響を直接受けたかどうかはともかく、 両者の問題意識には近い点があったように思われる。つまり、それぞれの著作において、宗教・倫理に関する生の資料を著作に盛り込み、自らの解説は極力入れることなく、最終的判断を読者に任せるという手法である。本稿では、モタッハリーがジェームズの著作The Varieties of Religious Experienceで用いた方法と近似したやり方で『よき人々の物語』を編集したこと、さらにこのような手法が一般の人々の宗教・倫理的信念を確立させるうえで効果的であることの可能性を示した。
As a Motahhari's (Iranian religious scholar and philosopher, 1920-1979) motivation to edit Dāstān-e Rāstān (The Stories of the Righteous), we can assume that Motahhari, like W. James, thought it necessary to avoid serious misunderstanding in dealing with religio-ethical judgments made by people because they are a highly subjective matter. Although Motahhari and James did not have any direct contact with each other (James was born in 1842 and died in 1910, 10 years prior to the birth of Motahhari), the former apparently read the latter's book in translation. Whether Motahhari had been directly influenced by James or not, their approach looks the same in that both of them supply raw materials (mainly the records left by the past religious geniuses) concerning religion or ethics for readers with a view to entrusting the final judgement in the hands of the readers. In this paper, it is shown that Motahhari resorted to this method James adopted in his The Varieties of Religious Experience so that Persian readers can pass their own judgement through reading the materials which have not been altered by the author's arbitrary intention. This kind of method could be useful in establishing each reader's positive attitude towards his or her religio-ethical belief.
