Abstract :

The concept of freedom and social justice is one of the ideal concepts that have a special place in social life and people want to define it in the individual and social arena. It seems that the concept of entitlement is one of the elements of social justice that by learning in the society, people get their deserved rights. Freedom as a human right can be realized with justice. Therefore, the basis of social justice is the necessity of creating a civil society and determining the rules that are the understanding of people in the society as the attribute of rules, establishing, implementing and enforcing rules to regulate social relations to limit freedom to provide interests and interests of all. This study, with the descriptive-analytical research method based on library sources, seeks to formulate the relationship between social justice and freedom in various discourses and Nahj al-Balagheh and to explain the possibility of the realization of these two concepts in social life in these discourses. The way of approaching the discourses about the conflict between freedom and social justice is not the same. Some of them vote for the priority of freedom and some of them for social justice, but Nahj al-Balagheh considered interaction and presence of these concepts to be valid in the social arena.
