The Philosophy of Justice According to the Political Thought of Iran's Leader

Justice has a special position in the political thought of Iran’s leader. It is one of the main bases of political knowledge, and is also the result of an internal virtue; it’s a dream and the permanent goal of all political subjects. It is a way to achieve the final goals and a criterion for correcting wrong attitudes and also a measure for presenting model political attitudes. Justice is a concept with various grades and different dimensions and it covers some other characteristics; for example it is comprehensiveness, inclusive, implicit, timeless, and ultimate, it creates responsibility and obligation, and it somehow appears in all personal and social aspects of life and in all practical and cognitive fields. Also it interferes with many similar concepts such as freedom, security, rights, law and comfort. But the leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, believes that justice although very important, but it may suffer from internal and external harms and it should be watched carefully.
