Conceptual Network of Islamic Political Philosophy

One of fields in the so-called Islamic political studies is the reasonable and argumental deates about the sociopolitical issues of Islam which is called political philosophy. What is the meaning of political philosophy and similar terms, and how can they be combined with Islam? Political philosophy or the philosophy of politics is a specific type of systematic thinking, thought, debate and argumentation about political concepts, issues and phenomena. Now if we add the adjective “Islamic” to each of these, they will be more complicated and gain new definitions. Even the juxtaposition of Islam and these concepts needs explanation, justification and prove. In this article, what we have provided as political philosophy and similar terms summarily includes three main terms, six mediating terms and twelve lateral terms. We have defined each of these concepts specifically so we have talked about a conceptual network of Islamic political philosophy. Of course, we have used the term "Islamic political philosophy" by which we mean this conceptual network. Therefore the aim of the article has been to provide a perspective of the term political philosophy and its related words, and provide a more clarified definition of the conceptual network of Islamic political philosophy, and define each of terms in this conceptual network. Before dealing with the main aim, it was necessary to deal with common definition of political philosophy and the possibility of Islamic political philosophy and its related notes.
