Explanation and Analysis of the Nature and Dimensions of the Theory of the ‘Jurisprudence of Guardianship System’

The complexity of the world of today makes it necessary to change the jurisprudential approach from an individual perspective to a systemic perspective. Shiʿa jurists have felt this necessity and sought to find a solution for it by making special studies and presenting ideas in this realm. Meanwhile, each of the theories of “jurisprudence of the system”, “guardianship jurisprudence” and “jurisprudence of guardianship system” have expressed a new approach. The third theory can show great efficiency due to its countless capacities. By referring to the author’s written and oral works and explaining each of the abovementioned forms of jurisprudence and explaining the textual (narrative) evidence, this research shows preference for the last form, i.e., the “jurisprudence of the guardianship system”  and specifies four chapter headings for it. One of them is the question of the nature of jurisprudence of the guardianship system. This sort of jurisprudence is divided into two parts: epistemic and objective.The first part, which is also called ideology, seeks to prove two types of general and specific principles and the way to reach them by applying rational and discretional (ijtihādi) methods, and the second part, which is called governance, is the process of policy making, making regulation and providing services. The epistemological field of governance also consists of four parts: the first is the philosophy of governance, the second is the governance jurisprudence, the third is the governance ethics , and the fourth is the science of governance.
