During the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911, different conceptions and discourses on the notion of justice developed and revealed the political positions of their authors, notably towards Europe. Justice was apprehended as an ideal, religious or secular, that had to be implemented in Iran notably through specific institutions and a rationally organized judiciary system. We will examine here two different points of view, religious and secular, which express the diversity of opinions that characterized this period regarding this important topic of justice.
