المنظومة الديموقراطية لدى الزعيم علال الفاسي : دراسة في ضوء طروحات سعيد الحسن حول نظرية القيم

Abstract EN

This paper dealt with aspects of agreement and difference between Leader Allal Al-Fassi's conception of the democratic system and the arguments of Professor Said El Hassan’s theses on the Theory of Political Values, especially what relates to the concept of freedom.

the paper showed that an agreement between their two visions is not hidden, and that the difference between them is not a contradiction in the content of ideas or in their epistemic grounds, but rather is a difference in their theoretical approaches: both agree on considering the principle of attawheed, i.e., Islamic monotheism, as an absolute reference for the system of political values in the Islamic knowledge system: Allal discussion of democracy always talks about democracy that must be adapted for attawheed.

it is a position that Allal established with knowledge of his origins in Islam when he saw that freedom is not freedom in its full strength and depth except in Islam.

however, Allal and Said differ on the universality of the democratic value: Said considers it a collective value in Western European political jurisprudence and does not consider it a universal collective value, and he sees democracy as a set of procedures that do not necessarily stem from a commitment to collective perceptions and their reference to society, and that they reduce social mobility and the lives of people in society to confinement.

people in limited representative institutions that disrupt their ability to develop their norms and renew and build upon their collective perceptions; while Allal considers democracy a good thing in everything, and he asserts that regimes can only succeed in ruling people with democracy, and thus he almost views democracy as a collective universal value.

Allal goes on to regard freedom as the basis and other values that prove to the extent that a person is able to prove his freedom: that is, man seeks freedom to achieve justice and equality more than he seeks justice in order to achieve his freedom.

in fact, the difference between Allal and Said appears regarding the extent of the differentiation of the concepts of justice and equality: for Allal, justice means equality, while Said starts from the distinction of the two values and considers justice as a guiding value that represents the supreme individual value and simulates the reference of the Islamic knowledge system represented by the true God the: which makes the value of justice dominating the system of values Individualism in the system.

as for Allal, he accepts the Western vision of freedom: he considers it a supreme individual value for the Islamic system, and that the ummah was walking on the path of freedom and salvation, were it not for its preoccupation with defending itself in the face of the colonialist ...

in general, he considers the democratic system an ideological view that criticizes, analyzes and deals with the consolidation of ideas While Said is concerned with presenting his ideas in a systematic theoretical framework through which he builds a model for analyzing the system of political values, he defines the vocabulary of this system and its components in a way that enables a comparison between the various knowledge systems and their value systems: which was not among the priorities of the leader Allal and his role as a thinker and political theorist.
