چکیده

یکی از مسائل مناقشه برانگیز در حوزه مدیریت جمعی، تعیین قلمرو آزادی های فردی و اجتماعی در جوامع بشری است. پرسش اصلی این است که «در جامعه اسلامی، محدوده آزادی های سیاسی تا کجا است؟» در واقع مقصود این جستار، ترسیم حریم آزادی های خصوصی و اجتماعی در جامعه و دولت اسلامی است تا به مدد تعیین خطوط قرمز میان امور خصوصی و عمومی، اولاً در بخش قانونگذاری با پرهیز از تصویب طرح ها و لوایح بی مبنا، گنگ و مبهم، قوانین شفاف تر و دقیق تری به تصویب برسد و دوم اینکه آحاد جامعه نیز به دور از برداشت های شخصی، کژفهمی ها و تفسیر به رأی نسبت به قلمرو آزادی های سیاسی شناخت بهتری پیدا کنند. شایان ذکر است که مقاله به روش کتابخانه ای و بر مبنای یک چارچوب مفهومی شهودگرایانه فرضی نگاشته شده است. به طور کلی یافته های این پژوهش گویای آن است که از دیدگاه دینی، دولت اسلامی در امور سیاسی- اجتماعی بر آزادی تفکر، آزادی تحقیق، آزادی بیان در محافل علمی و حتی آزادی عقیده تأکید دارد اما افراد در مقوله آزادی بیان در عرصه تبلیغات و کنش سیاسی، بایستی تابع مصالح عمومی و منافع ملی باشند.

An Intuitionistic Analysis of Political Freedoms in Islamic Society

Introduction      One of the most contentious issues in the realm of political science and governance revolves around defining the boundaries and scope of individual and social freedoms in the human society. Additionally, a significant intellectual concern among Islamic thinkers pertains to the extent to which individuals and civic groups can freely act in public domains, and where they must adhere to governmental laws and social requirements. The present study, employing the conceptual framework of hypothetical intuitionism, aimed to address the following question: What is the extent of political freedoms in Islamic society? Essentially, the objective of this article was to delineate the boundaries of individual and social freedoms in the Islamic society and state. Literature Review Many articles have been dedicated to exploring the concepts of freedom and liberty within an Islamic state. The prime examples are: “Fundamentals and Principles of Free Thinking from an Islamic Perspective with an Emphasis on the Thoughts of Allameh Tabataba’i” by Hossamuddin Khaltabari, “Islamic State and Political Freedom in Islam from the Perspective of Allameh Mohammad Taqi Jafari” by Hossein Moin Abadi, “Thematic Analysis of Security and Freedom of Thought from the Perspective of Imam Khamenei” by Asghar Eftekhari, and “Review of the Definition of Freedom and Public Freedoms in the Islamic State” by Yaser Rustaee. However, none of these articles approached the topic within the framework of hypothetical intuitionism. Materials and Methods The present article adopted the methodology of hypothetical intuitionism. The term intuition is used here in its conventional philosophical sense, distinct from its popular interpretation in mystical discussions among Muslims. The study employed Rawls’s hypothetical intuitionism approach to construct a specific hypothetical condition which, based on the individual intuition, serves to provide a rational explanation for the research process and its ultimate outcome. Conclusion According to the Islamic perspective, the Islamic state upholds freedom of thought, research, expression, and even freedom of belief within scientific domains. However, the extent of freedom of propaganda and freedom of social action depends on considerations of public and national interests. Concerning freedom of political thought, there is an absolute freedom, meaning there are no imposed limitations on political thinking. Furthermore, individuals in scientific and specialized circles enjoy the freedom to express their views and research various political matters, enabling them to share their political perspectives with relevant experts. As individuals share their views and ideas with Muslim political thinkers, a space is created for the exchange of differing opinions and ideas. In addition, freedom of belief indicates that individuals cannot be compelled to adopt a specific political ideology or belief through the use of force or coercion. When individuals decide to disseminate their political ideas in the public sphere, the Islamic state has a responsibility to intervene, considering the significance and potential impact of the issue, in order to prevent the proliferation of harmful and erroneous political ideas. Concerning freedom of speech, it is essential to underline that when political discourse extends beyond scientific and specialized circles and permeates public sphere at large, it falls under the category of freedom of propaganda, encompassing media activities of political movements. In this respect, in order to prevent the manipulation of public opinion, address rumors, and counter the spread of fake news, the government sets some parameters that these movements have to adhere to when conducting media and public activities. For example, it becomes necessary to adhere to certain legal provisions and obtain official permits for publishing a newspaper. In situations where the impact of expression holds greater sensitivity, the response from the Islamic state naturally becomes more robust and prominent. Within the Islamic state, if an individual privately and discreetly engages in activities that oppose the principles and policies of the political system, the government does not have the right to conduct surveillance of the private sphere. However, should the activities against Islamic principles come to the government’s attention, it is incumbent upon the governance system to offer guidance through enjoining good and forbidding evil. Nevertheless, when an individual’s actions and behavior pose a significant and serious threat to the political stability and security, the state resorts to more stringent measures, which in turn may involve restricting some of the individual freedoms of the wrongdoer.
