The Evolutionary and Developmental Process of the Conduct of the Wise to the Shi'a Scholars of the Principles of Jurisprudence

The conduct of the wise in deducing the rules is one of the most important issues of the modern time because it plays a great role both in responding to the increasing needs of the societies and the adaptation of jurisprudence to the new social life. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the evolutionary process of the conduct of the wise to the Shi'ascholars of the principles of jurisprudence and the amount of referring to the conduct of the wise from the early to the contemporary scholars of the principles of jurisprudence. The results showed that the Shi'ascholars of the principles of jurisprudence specifically the later ones have relied on the conduct of the wise on most of the principles of jurisprudence and sometimes have regarded it as the only evidence or the best evidence.
