Abstract

Considering that accountability has had a great impact on all different aspects of life and has always attracted the attention of thinkers and philosophers in all periods of life, a phenomenological view of it helps us to achieve a new understanding of the issue and get familiar with its different aspects to draw a world in which accountability is formed. The present descriptive-analytical study seeks to answer the question: "What are the posterior components of the world of accountability in Nahj al-Balaghah?" The findings of this study indicate that responsibility is limited in two ways: the existence of a-priori components that emerge before assigning a responsibility, such as belief in God, soul health, modeling a perfect man, and revelation; the existence of the posteriori components that arise from a responsibility, such as the original human existence, existential peace, existential happiness, and existential interaction. Responsibility is not a virtue along with other virtues and perfections, but the center of the formation of other perfections and virtues, and we desperately need responsibility for genuine religiosity.
