Political Philosophy from the Perspective of the Qur'an with an Emphasis on Allameh Tabatabaei's View

Political philosophy means the study of politics from a philosophical perspective, which seeks to locate politics in the existential system of the creation. Basically, there are two types of questions in politics: routine and transient questions that would be responded differently depending on time, location, and circumstances and lasting questions that have always been among nations and in different periods of thought. Political philosophy seeks to answer the perennial, fundamental and enduring questions of political science. Using descriptive-analysis method, this paper seeks to study the "political philosophy" and its status in the Holy Qur'an with an emphasis on Allameh Tabatabaei's view, to recognize his attitude towards political philosophy. The research hypothesis is that, among the Muslim thinkers, Allameh Tabatabaei is one of the rare scholars who has an independent view in political philosophy and social system of Islam that he has extracted that from the Holy Qur'an and traditions and then has proved it rationally.
