Explaining Justice within the Realm of Human Powers As was mentioned earlier, there are many things to say about rights and justice .

Some scholars have embarked upon describing corporeal qualities and human powers. Based on their experiences, observations, testate, and those of others, they have concluded that human powers may be classified under three categories. And although they are not unrelated to each other, the boundary of each one of them is separate from that of the other. The first category is the intellectual and scientific power of man. The second category consists of the power of attraction.

And the third category is the power of dispelling. Based on this division, the human powers do not go beyond these three categories for each one of the human behaviours is of two kinds; either they are associated with intellect and perception which is related to the first category or with conduct which belongs to the second and third categories. Each one of these powers has three stages: moderateness (tafrit), middle or immoderacy. The intellect is sometimes within the realm of moderation.

In this state, the individual is slow. Sometimes, this power is in the stage of immoderacy, which renders one sharp. If this power is in the middle stage, it means that the individual has intellectual balance and understands each affair properly; neither does he delay in understanding nor does he go beyond what is necessary, that is he does not beat about the bush. This state of immoderacy, which is precocious understanding and untimely wandering of the mind is called jurbuzah .

As a slow person does not reach anywhere, the person with jurbuzah does not achieve success. However, the one whose intellectual power is balanced merely accepts rational affairs, champions them and does not wash his hands off them so easily. The one who possesses such a power (and in this respect), he is in a state of justice and intermediacy is called a sage. And this central kernel is called theosophy which apart from absolute science is juxtaposed with theology and Gnosticism.

Now let us speak about the second category, which is attraction. This power can also have one of these three states.
