Abstract

One can enumerate some constituents for the so-called middle and contemporary periods in the field of thought. In the middle period, heaven and religion are in a longitudinal relationship, above the earth and intellect. This unidirectional relationship characterizes the Middle Ages as the era of "single source" knowledge and places all the thought systems under the revelation. The contemporary period, however, is the era of pluralization of epistemic sources and emergence of other types of relationships between thought systems; An era in which the longitudinal relationship between revelation and reason is faced with era-making questions and the gates of the multi-source era in the field of thought and politics are opened. It is based on this distinction that in this article, the issue of the rationality of power, as a measure, in the middle and contemporary period and its impact on legal thought has been investigated. The most important achievement of such a theoretical effort is the internalization of legal norms due to its compatibility with the rationality of the society and making the execution mandate aimed at it more efficient. Legal thought and order which is in a dialectical relationship with the rationality of the power of each era, plays a more effective role in social ordering.
