Agency, wisdom, justice and love: A different look at international relations مقالة

ملخص الجهاز:

Estrangement from love, rationality, and self-obstruction are obstacles to justice. Master Molavi says: He who overcomes the tyranny within himself will understand the plight of the oppressed. Generally, the perspective from within to without, which grants legitimacy and competence to the individual agent, should be considered an important issue in the foundations of international relations, as opposed to the top-down view that deems structure competent and ignores individual agency, thereby rendering change sterile. To have a more inclusive and harmonious world, the power of love, which is an inherent essence in all humans, must inspire the individual. Just as power is inherently liberating and love is intrinsically freeing (drowning out instincts), the power of love is a covenant-maker of closeness and a gathering of individual freedom and social justice. Hafez recites: I openly declare and am delighted with my words; I am a slave of love and free from both worlds. References 1.
