چکیده:
The liberal democracy system and the religious democratic system differ in various dimensions, including epistemological and anthropological foundations; such that in the Islamic system, the sources of knowledge are reason, revelatory sources, and human experiences; however, in the liberal democracy system, reason is considered an individual tool, and human experiences are regarded as the sole source of knowledge. Yet, despite these distinctions, these two systems possess similarities and homologies in some cognitive dimensions and functional domains. Among the cases of similarity between these two systems are attention to the role of the people in objectifying the government, the presence of the people as a fundamental pillar of government, people's participation in controlling and supervising rulers, and the necessity of the principle of equality and parity.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The most central question in this discussion is: first, what axes has the Western liberal democratic system established as anthropological principles, epistemological foundations, and attitudes toward humans, and in contrast, what perspective does the Islamic system offer in this regard?
(2) The democratic part of this theory refers to how people participate in their socio-political destiny; this theory considers direct election to be the best method for this purpose; however, due to the problems inherent in direct election, it turns toward the representative system; on this basis, political decision-making powers are entrusted to representatives, and these individuals acquire this right by participating in elections and obtaining a majority of votes.
In terms of worldview principles and ideology as well, there is a great difference between these two systems; the liberal democratic system is based on social contract and the covenant of human individuals; whereas the fundamental principle in the Islamic system is the belief in the servitude of humans before God and the belief in divine messengers for the individual and collective guidance of humans, which is a guidance that is never interrupted and continues through the deputies and vicegerents of the divine messengers.
3- The principle of equality and parity Based on the Western liberal democratic system, all people are equal in political, social, and economic affairs and in the exploitation of opportunities; all people are equal in the right to choose, to vote, to be elected, to attain administrative positions, to acquire property, and in all types of acceptable social and economic activities, and no one is fundamentally deprived of these rights.
