Imam Khomeini's Political Thought Indices (In Three Types of Political Philosophy, Political Jurisprudence, and Political Ethics)

The present research aims at explaining and indexing Imam Khomeini’s political thoughts in three types of political philosophy, political jurisprudence, and political ethics. Here, we intended to analyze Imam’s response to three main questions about political philosophy, political jurisprudence, and political ethics based on the Islam’s three-dimensional division pattern and within the framework of Imam’s thought, then, indices of each type were determined and introduced. The findings of the study which were in compliance with systemic thought of Imam showed that there is a logical and significant relation among the three mentioned types and perfection and imperfection of each one affects the other one; otherwise, the desirable society will not be realized. Also, by observing Imam’s systemic viewpoint, we can say that a full understanding of his political thought will be achieved by understanding the three mentioned types. Among the advantages of this paper we can refer to analyzing Imam’s political thought in conformity with his pattern and thought system as well as determining the evaluation indices of each one.
