The Epistemic Sources of Islamic Political Philosophy

Politics is a topic that can be investigated from various viewpoints .The empirica, philosophical and religious approaches each present one aspect of politics .The status of these approaches can be recognized and illustrated in different levels of rationality, based on the epistemic sources .Thus,""empirical rationality", "philosophical rationality "and "transcendental or revealed rationality "present different perspectives of the politics .In addition to negating "irreligious wisdom "and "irrational religion", Islamic philosophers would try to present a preeminent outlook of basic political elements called Islamic political philosophy by bridging the gap between horizons of philosophical rationality and revealed rationality . Their effort to achieve this goal is a reflection of different interpretations of the concord between religion and philosophy .Four interpretations of the relationship between philosophy and religion are" :the essential unity of philosophy and religion",""religion being more general than philosophy", "priority of reason to religion "and "unity of goals, variety of methods."
