Abstract: (672 Views)

The politics of friendship comes directly from discussing the conditions of human beings with one another.Living and communicating with others is important and undeniable based on human social nature.Now a day,with the expansion of private space, as opposed to the narrowing of the circle of human common space, friendships have faded. The issue of violence and enmity in the Islamic world has gained particular prominence with the rise of jihadi takfiri groups, as often theorized and elaborated by scientific and academic research.However, the issue of friendship, which is otherwise a political issue from Schmidt's point of view, has been less addressed, especially in domestic research and especially in political philosophy. Contemporary Muslims have not been followed.Therefore, the present study seeks to discover indicators of friendship in the political thought of Imam Khomeini as a contemporary Muslim thinker and leader of the Islamic Revolution based on the theories of Hanna Arendt and Jacques Derrida (with emphasis and adjustment). To accomplish this, it is important to use the approach Schleiermacher's hermeneutics used qualitative content analysis, indentation and inference method. On this basis, the main question of the research is “How does the concept of friendship in Imam Khomeini's thought make sense of politics and politics in the Islamic world?” and its hypothesis is that categories such as vows and covenants, power, acceptance of differences, acceptance of differences, acceptance The other is that forgiveness, responsible friendship, and negative self-negation are decisive in the form of friendship politics in their thinking system.
