Ma`rifat Falsafi

The present article deals with one of the important philosophical discussions on "right". The question is whether "right" in "having right" is an existential one or conventional? In other words, when we use "having right" in politics, law and ethics – disregarding the legislation of the legislator – is it an actual reality or a conventional one? Considering the fact that Allama Tabatabaie is a prominent authority in humanities and his view on "right" is an effective one, the present article investigates his view in this regard, and is seeking to prove the claim that according to his principles and ideas in his Tafsīr Al-Mīzān, "right" does not have just a conventional nature; rather, it enjoys a dual nature (existential and conventional). In this study, data explanation was done through rational and critical analysis, and the data collection was in documentary form.
