Abstract

There is no choice but to study and discuss the nature of man and to know him as the source and origin of the humanities in their various branches. One of the topics requiring contemplation and deliberation in anthropological issues is sovereignty and its relevant theories as one of the significant components of social life. It is particularly important to investigate this topic with the aim of explaining domestic theories in this regard and studying them with an interdisciplinary approach. The principal approach in this article is the study and criticism of the philosophical and anthropological foundations of the principle of separation of powers in contemporary times based on the study of man from the perspective of Islam. Accordingly, an analytical paradigm of this principle and its function in Islamic sovereignty is presented based on the concept of government from an Islamic perspective. This can be formed after introducing a new paradigm based on the redefinition of the theory of separation of powers and on the source and origin of sovereignty according to Islamic anthropological foundations.
