The Theory of  Exploitation and the Value Origin of  Justice in the View of  Allāmeh Ðabāðabāī (based on the interpretation of Shahid Ayatollah Muðahhari, Ayatollah Misbāh Yazdi, and Ayatollah Jawādi Amuli)

The discussion on ‘justice’ is one of the fundamental issues in the Islamic political philosophy. The discussion on the idea of value and the origin of justice has been a challenging and controversial one. The main question of this research is “What is ‘Allāmeh Ðabāðabāī’s view of the subject in question?” Despite the fact that there have been differences of opinion among interpreters about ‘Allāmeh’s view in this regard, the findings of the present research show that ‘Allāmeh’s words that the principle of justice has its roots in man’s disposition of exploiting people and of making profits is not a value judgment by ‘Allāmeh himself. In fact, ‘Allāmeh intended to cast light on the fact that it is a requirement of man’s original nature or disposition devoid of religion to act that way. Therefore, he maintains that man’s nature has to be cultivated by religion. If that is the case, the views of Shahid Ayatollah Muðahhari, Ayatollah Misbāh Yazdi, and Ayatollah Jawādi Amuli converge with that of ‘Allāmeh Ðabāðabāī. The only difference is that each of these figures looks at the subject in question from a different angle.
