analysis and critique the view of Mojtahed Shabestari on the gem and the shell of religion

One of the areas that Mojtahed Shabestari has entered, is the argument of essential and accidential of religion or the gem and shell. He looks at this two: Once, he knows the gem of religion as religious experience and in other cases, represents the gem of religion as the by-itself purpose. These two views can be evaluated separately, but it seems, his goal to discuss the by-itself purpose is finding common aspect between the religious experiences that completely different from one another in essentiality. The contribution of the foregoing share the religious experiences with each other, for the sake of purpose. This paper aims to examine the two proposed views: First, examine the relationship between these two views, secondly, the logic of the discovery of the essences of religion analyze, as it has been posited in his opinion. It also validates the method used in this theory.
