خوابی تعبیر شده؟! اعتمادالسلطنه و رویای صدارت‌اعظمی

محمدحسن خان اعتمادالسلطنه از رجال علمی-سیاسی برجسته دوران قاجاریه است که درباره زندگی او آگاهیهای بسیار در دست است، اما درباره کیفیت و نحوه تالیف آثار وی، رویکرد سیاسی و سبب مرگ ناگهانی اش میان پژوهشگران تاریخ قاجاریه، مناقشه بسیار وجود دارد. مقاله حاضر به بررسی کارنامه سیاسی او می پردازد. در 42 سالگی اعتمادالسلطنه، درحالی که دچار ناامیدی مزمن بود، همسرش رویایی دید که طبق آن او در 54 سالگی به وزارت (صدار اعظمی) می رسید. چنین می نماید که این خواب روند زندگی اعتمادالسلطنه را تا پایان عمر او تحت تاثیر مستقیم قرار داده است. یافته های پژوهش نشان می دهند که چگونه محیط سیاسی-اجتماعی، کنش های سیاسی اعتمادالسلطنه را شکل داده اند و چِسان خواب مذکور مسیر 12 سال پایانی زندگی او را برای تحقق رویای صدارت اعظمی رقم زده و او را به نگارش و فعالیت های گسترده سیاسی، رقابت با امین السلطان و پیوند با سفارت روسیه، واداشته است.

a dream interpreted?! etimād al-saltanah and the dream of prime ministry

mohammad hassan khan etemad al-saltaneh was a prominent scientific and political figure of the qajar era. despite the unique data available about him, his character, the quality and method of his writings, his political approach, and the mystery surrounding his sudden death have been contentious topics among his contemporaries and many researchers. most of them have limited themselves to describing his life rsquo;s journey and recounting the judgments of his friends or rivals. addressing all these issues exceeds the scope of a single article; thus, the current research focuses on his political career. etemad al-saltaneh, who was suffering from chronic despair at the age of 42, was told by his wife about a dream in which he would become a minister (sadr-e azam) at the age of 54. it seems that this dream had a direct impact on the course of etemad al-saltaneh rsquo;s life thereafter. this study, using psychology, briefly analyzes his life and character to evaluate how this dream influenced his political career. the findings reveal how the socio-political environment shaped etemad al-saltaneh rsquo;s political actions and how the dream guided the final 12 years of his life towards the pursuit of prime ministership, leading him to extensive political activities, competition with amin al-sultan, and alignment with the russian embassy.
