Abstract
This article was developed on the base of the findings of a research named “Designing a public policy making system to achieve social justice, based on Alavian truth-oriented model of governance” (2004).
Every public policy making system is usually designed based on a set of principles and fundamental statements; the principles that are impacted from dominant doctrines of political philosophy schools in their social environment.
Usually these doctrines are formulated by ideological challenges, ethical discourses or reasonable consensus. But, to conceptualize the truth oriented justice, it is important to regard logical analytical method for referring and formulating the statements to establish a reliable knowledge based system.
So, applying comparative analysis and logical analytical method will help the transaction from truth-directed system to truth-oriented system. In this method, after introduction and acceptance of a set of reasonable principles, several theorems were extract. (These principles were extracted from Nahjolballagha but were formulated based on logical analytical method); and the final logical system was made based on these principles and theorems.
Accordingly, we can benchmark these statements as one of the best systems for assessing the doctrines of other systems. In this way, the universal declaration of human rights, as a best verbal artifacts of human being, was compared with this system, using a comparative approach. Finally, the valuable results of the truth-oriented system were emphasized.
