Starting with the ground of politics and the centre of the political has a great importance in order to study the tradition of politics of the Classical Islam per se and further studies on it. According to Martin Heidegger, to examine the ground and the utmost one is nothing but metaphysics and due to this, metaphysics is onto-theology per se. Jacques Derrida, following the philosophical inherit of Heidegger claims that the onto-theology is the metaphysics of presence and examines the possibilities and impossibilities of the metaphysics by tracing the arguments of any metaphysics or what Derrida calls the reading strategies and which was later on called deconstruction. This study will try to prove that tracing the reading strategies of deconstruction, the tradition of politics of the Classical Islam has a monarch-centred (monarchocentric) metaphysics through reading the Book of Politics (Siyasatnama) literature. Next, how this discourse which makes monarch its centre is recontextualised after the centre is displaced by decontextualization will be covered.
