تقي‌زاده، از تجددگرايي تا فرنگي‌مآبي

Taqizade, from modernism to west oriented believes

درك بينش روشنفكري تقي‌زاده همان‌قدر دچار كج فهمي است كه درك شخصيت سياسي او؛ با اين تفاوت كه تقي‌زاده خود، در ايجاد اين كج فهمي بيش از هر كس ديگر نقش داشت. چرا كه ايراد جمله «ايراني بايد ظاهراً و باطناً، جسماً و روحاً فرنگي‌مآب شود و بس» ديگران را به اين بينش كشانيد كه وي با درك سطحي از مدرنيته، فاقد وجاهت روشنفكري بوده و به انداز ه ي يك فرنگي مآب نزول كرده است؛ در حاليكه بررسي مطالب و نوشته هاي وي، خلاف اين مسيله را اثبات مي كند . به لحاظ شخصيت سياسي - كه شخصيت روشنفكري اش بر آن سايه انداخته بود - نزديكي به قدرت و دست يازيدن به هر اقدام منفعت طلبانه، كه لازمه مقام سياستمداري است، حتي به قيمت امضاي تمديد قرار داد 1933، وي را به يكي از منفورترين سياستمداران عصر پهلوي مبدل كرد .

There is misunderstanding about not only Taghizade`s intellectual insight but also his political character. The difference is that he himself contributed to such misunderstanding more than others. Because, expressing the statement: “Iranian must be fond of western culture apparently and inwardly, physically and spiritually”, made others reckon that due to his superficial understanding of modernism, he is intellectually inadmissible and has declined as a person fond of western culture; while studying his notes and writings proves the contrary. Because of his political character that his intellectual character had concealed, obtaining power and performing any self-interest action which is an inseparable feature of a politician turned him to one of the most politicians in the Pahlavi era, especially after his signing the contract of 1933 to extend it.
