The Authority of Judgements of Reason from the Allameh Tabatabai's Viewpoint with Emphasis on Al-Mizan Quran's Commentary

The Authority of judgement of intellect is one of the challenging issues in the principles of Islamic jurisprudence which has brought those learned in the Principles in to conflict with each other. Due to rejecting the rule for correlation of the precepts of the Islamic Law with reason and or denying essential goodness and badness, These groups have questioned the rational Judgments. It seems that the reason for such differences of opinion is the lack of correct recognition of the reality of human intellect and divine will in the legislation system. The present paper seeks to cast light on, the views of Allameh Tabatabai, the philosopher, the Quranic exegete interpreter and the prominent scholar of the principles of injurisprudence, in two realms that is, the nature of authority of reason and the philosophy of the authority of judgment of reason and its status in the evaluation of the other arguments. Concerning thesubject in question, Asharites, Mutazila and materialist philosophers have presented different views. But the late Allameh, with full attention, considers the legislation system,, being subject, to the divine will, to be subject to the judgments of wise people. In his viewpoint, the rule for the correlation of the Islamic Law with reason and the essential goodness and badness is a matter which is proved by paying careful attention to God’s actions and the relevant verses of the Holy Quran.
