Rights an‎d obligations from the perspective of Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi an‎d Abdul Karim Soroush

فلسفه و كلام اسلامي

In today’s world, with the expansion of communications an‎d cultural interactions, many issues that were once considered religious certainties have faced doubts an‎d challenges. One such issue is the concept of rights an‎d duties. Many thinkers in this field believe the modern era is the "age of rights," where modern humans are "rights-bearing individuals," whereas traditional religious humans were "duty-bound," accepting obligations without question. This topic is significant because many contemporary challenges occupying human societies—such as human rights, freedom, feminism, an‎d even political debates—are rooted in the relationship between rights an‎d obligations. This research employs a descriptive-analytical an‎d comparative method to examine the foundations an‎d challenges of rights an‎d duties from the perspectives of Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah Yazdi (as an Islamic thinker representing religious thought) an‎d Abdulkarim Soroush (as a religious reformist representing modern viewpoints). The findings reveal that, in Mesbah Yazdi’s view, the greatest an‎d most fundamental right is the "right of God," from which all other rights derive. In contrast, Soroush grounds rights in natural an‎d positivist principles. This divergence in the origin of rights forms the basis for many contemporary challenges an‎d ambiguities.
