This is a translation of Mehdi Hairi Yazdi’s ???? ? ????? (?ikmat wa ?ukumat) which provides a philosophical critique of the theory of the guardianship of the jurist. 

This theory is currently the governance theory in Iran and Mehdi Hairi Yazdi’s treatise provides a critique based on both philosophical and traditional arguments. It asks numerous questions, such as: ‘Is the governance of jurists philosophically coherent, rational and efficient?’ and ‘How can Muslim communities have their own forms of governance in such a manner that their faith commitments are met while living in their own time without clashing with universal values of governance?’ and debunks the key foundation of the guardianship of the jurist. 

The present translation makes accessible, for the first time, the text of this critique in English, and provides a competing narrative based on his theory of joint public ownership in political theory.

Mehdi Hairi Yazdi (1923-1999) was a contemporary jurist and philosopher and one of the most prominent exponents of the philosophy of Mulla ?adra in the tradition of classical Muslim philosophy. He received his qualification as an expert jurisprudent (mujtahid) from Grand Ayatollah Burujirdi, who was the most senior Twelver Shi?i authority after Hairi’s own father, Grand Ayatollah Abdulkarim Hairi Yazdi, who had founded the Qumm seminary in the early 20th century in Iran. Hairi joined Tehran University in 1952 as scholar of theology on the account of his traditional learning, which was equivalent to a PhD. In the years before the 1979 revolution, Hairi attended the University of Toronto’s Department of Philosophy where he earned his second PhD. Upon his return to Iran following the revolution, he resumed his academic career at Tehran University as Professor of Islamic Philosophy and rejoining the Iranian Academy of Philosophy, established before the revolution by Seyyed Hossein Nasr.
