Abstract: (74 Views)

Anarchism is often known as a political theory, and native philosophers such as Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi have examined and evaluated it from the perspective of political assumptions. However, in the West, anarchism as a philosophical theory has certain assumptions and serious supporters. Although Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi has not investigated anarchism as a philosophical theory, his philosophical system has a special capacity to evaluate the theory of philosophical anarchism. In this article, which is written in the method of analysis and interpretation, philosophical anarchism is described and analyzed based on the two narratives of the maximalist "Robert Paul Wolf" and the minimal one of "John Simmons" and then it is evaluated based on the viewpoint of Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi. Philosophical anarchism proposes the conflict between "government authority" and "individual free will" and opposes any political authority and obligation by favoring the autonomy of humans. Based on the view of Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi, who justifies the moral obligation based on comparative necessity, it can be concluded that individual autonomy is compatible with external authority. In fact, Obligations based on their ends originate from prior free will. For this purpose, it is necessary to examine the relationship between moral obligation and political obligation from their point of view. Also, at the end of the article, Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi's point of view in evaluating philosophical anarchism is compared with the points of view of some western scholars.

Keywords: Philosophical anarchism, political obligation, authority, free will, comparative necessity, Ayatollah Misbah Yazdi.
