In this paper, after conceptual rethinking of the term in several theoretical contexts, and especially in the media domain, the author strived to present a consistent and uniform understanding of it to the reader and provide it at the level of a powerful guide concept for social and political research by reviewing the types, strategies, models, and consequences of the framing.https://ipt.isu.ac.ir/article_2576_ef1e491a766ce3127556063d49bc2f98.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityIslamic Political Thought2588-74598220211001Justice in International Relations: An Islamic Perspective19322048ENMuhammad HasanKhaniAssociate Professor, College of Islamic Doctrine and Political Science, Imam Sadiq University0000-0003-3123-7054Journal Article20140809Justice has invariably been one of the most contentious concepts of religious and political literature among the various schools of thought and philosophy throughout the entire history of humankind. The different definitions, interpretations, and applications philosophers and intellectuals have postulated in relation to the topic of justice have constituted the focus of profound and contentious debates, the result of which has been the formation of numerous intellectual trends and schools. One of the more specific topics of discussion among these different schools of thought has been the scope of implementation of justice and the boundaries in which it ought to be enforced. It has been the conviction of many scholars and intellectuals that the enforcement of justice is necessarily confined within the boundaries of the state and as such to seek the rule of justice on a border scale in the international arena would be impracticable and unrealistic. In the course of the present article this author intends to examine Islam’s perspective and approach on the topic of justice in international relations, thereby underscoring Islam’s distinctive theoretical principles and approach, which differentiate it from other schools of thought concerning this topic.https://ipt.isu.ac.ir/article_2048_051928341be67dcba03f0e04104d9047.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityIslamic Political Thought2588-74598220211001Political Rationality in Farabi’s Thought33482134ENHassanMajidiAssociate Professor of Political Sciences faculty at Imam Sadiq UniversityJournal Article20170903Abū Naṣr Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad Al Farabi is the founder of Islamic philosophy and the greatest philosopher of the Islamic world. Though, among Islamic thinkers, Farabi should be considered as a group of thinkers seeking harmony between reason and religion, but with a description of the earthly divine wisdom of man, inspired by the souls of the grace of the Plotinus, the intellect transcends the intellect beyond the imagination, and compares it with the religious version of the divine intellect and puts it to a higher rank than the creed. The study of political rationality in the sense of understanding the type of role and the flow of reason in the pillars of the political system with this Aristotelian philosopher shows that the starting point of his theory of reason is Aristotle’s book “On the Soul”; but the idealist Farabi is in favor of a unified system in utopia. Using the use of Islam and Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy, he describes the characteristics of a desirable society, a higher classification of society and the problems of the utopian system, Everywhere reason rules over other things, a rationale that compared with faith and religion(shariah) has some privilages. Farabi regards happiness as the ultimate goal of the political community and emphasizes the importance of intellect in individual and political ethics. The main question of the article is what is the role of reason in al-Farabi’s philosophical theorem, and how does Farabi make a relation between reason and religion in his political theory? The findings of the article show that reason and rationality play a pivotal role in theoretical philosophy of al-Farabi, being pivotal, descending, ultimate, and along with the revelation and even beyond it in Farabi’s political thought, and religion has a secondary role. Farabi’s approach in this way is philosophical.https://ipt.isu.ac.ir/article_2134_fca0789e7891cbc0583298a238316122.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityIslamic Political Thought2588-74598220211001Social Justice and Its Foundations from Viewpoint of Shahid Seyyed Mohammad Bagher Sadr73882430ENMohammad SadeghNosratpanahAssistant Professor of Political Sciences Faculty at Imam Sadiq UniversityJournal Article20181130Justice as one of the most important issues in educational and sociological sciences, has always attracted attention of thinkers. The meaning of justice is different from one viewpoint and is the same from anther viewpoint in two realms of sociological and educational sciences (philosophy, theosophy, and gnosticism). In both realms, justice is the quality of action and behavior, but in educational sciences it is the quality of the Almighty and the perfect Man, and also the quality of the universe, while in sociological science it implies the nature of behaviors, relationships and laws of man. Shahid Mohammad Bagher Sadr, with his command of educational sciences and practical Islamic sciences, seriously tried to explain the relationship between these two categories from viewpoints of what “is” and what “should be”. In this paper, using interpretive method, Shahid Sadr’s perspectives about justice were investigated. Justice as an expressed reality across the universe and as the final aim of religion in two individual and social dimensions, beside Shahid Sadr’s viewpoints and guidelines to accomplish justice were explained.<br /><br />https://ipt.isu.ac.ir/article_2430_1fb2a1c37b18aa4611c3949d6148d0f8.pdfImam Sadiq UniversityIslamic Political Thought2588-74598220211001The centrality of practical rationality as the logic of politics in Islam89917665110.30497/ipt.2021.76651ENSayyed AliLatifiPhD.
