Abstract

Based on the principles including: 1. Separation of religion and religious knowledge, 2. General transformation in science, 3. General correlation between all branches of knowledge, 4. The susceptibility of religious knowledge to human knowledge, 5. Silence of Shari'a, 6 The effect of the interpreter's presuppositions on the text, etc. The theory of general transformation holds that there is no any fixed and everlasting religious perception.  Regarding viewpoints of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli and based on rational and analytic method, the present article has criticized the mentioned theory and its foundations. The lack of transformation in some scientific branches such as positive propositions, rational requirements, truth and falsity of scientific propositions, existence of degrading transformation along with evolutionary ones, lack of the effect of all Knowledge bodies on religious Knowledge, unjustified correlation and general transformation of human knowledge and consequently religious knowledge along with its internal contradiction, and eventually endorsing the rules governing the methodology of language are among focal factors in not accepting the general transformation of religious knowledge from the perspective of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, and in fact this theory leads to the" Knowledge replacement. "Additionally, the distinction between the nature of religion and the religious epistemology as well as inability to understand the truth of religion are other factors in rejecting the aforementioned theory.
