Abstract:
This article has been developed based on part of the research results conducted under the title 'Designing a State Policy-Making System for the Realization of Social Justice, Based on the Alawite Right-Oriented Governance Model in Nahj al-Balagha.' Generally, every public policy-making system is designed based on a set of fundamental principles and propositions. These are principles that take shape under the influence of the teachings of dominant political philosophical schools in their social environment; teachings that may be formulated under the influence of meta-processes such as ideological disputes, moral discourses, or rational consensus. While if the goal of pursuing a justice-oriented teaching is to achieve a reliable system based on right and truth, it is unlikely that such meta-processes will be effective; because right-orientation entails adhering to logical implications in extracting propositions and establishing a valid scientific system. Therefore, it is recommended that in the process of right-orientation toward right-centeredness, the method of logical analysis be used. In this way, a set of valid rational principles is considered as fundamental logical principles, and propositions are logically inferred from them. In this research, while using the method of logical analysis and the comparative study method, the text of the book Nahj al-Balagha is used as the primary and original text for extracting logical propositions representing right-centered justice. The result of the work was the extraction and formulation of five underlying principles and the inference of nineteen logical propositions from the aforementioned principles, which, in the form of the final logical system of right-centered justice, provides a suitable basis for comparing the teachings of this system with other teachings surrounding other public policy-making systems. During the research, the underlying principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as one of humanity's best scientific achievements in the realm of law and ethics, were compared with the underlying principles of the right-oriented teaching, and the value of right-orientation in the process of knowledge enhancement was emphasized.

While if the goal of establishing a justice-oriented doctrine is to achieve a reliable system based on right and truth, it is unlikely that such meta-processes will be effective; because rights-orientedness entails observing logical implications in extracting propositions and laying the foundation of a valid scientific system.
The result of the work was the extraction and formulation of five underlying principles and the inference of nineteen logical propositions from the aforementioned principles, which, in the form of the final logical system of rights-centered justice, provides a suitable basis for comparing the teachings of this system with other teachings surrounding other public policy-making systems.

However, the realization of inclusive justice requires that the philosophical foundations governing the legislative process at the global level be rights-oriented, and be free from any kind of ideological inclination; because there is no doubt that relying on ideological schools and theorizing or legislating based on them leads to the instrumental use of science and law.
