Abstract

The aim of the present research is to reveal Kasravi’s ontological presuppositions in History of the Constitutional Revolution of Iran and Eighteen-year History of Azerbaijan and then to criticize the epistemological results of these presuppositions in Kasravi’s historiography based on the Concept of Heidegger’s Historicity. According to this, the main question of the present research is, how and on what basis does Kasravi define the subject of his historiography? The research findings show that the subject of Kasravi’s historiography is not the Historical Matter as a Shaping Verb. Kasravi’s historiography includes the Anti-historical Concept of Repetition. The Concept of the Traditional is absent in his historiography, Hence, the New Matter has become something groundless and this means Kasravi has not been able to understand the Dialectic of Discontinuity and Continuity hidden in the Historical Matter and to discover the Concept of Historicity. In other words, Kasravi has no basis for define the subject of historical question and research.
