Abstract

This study examines the system of virtues as articulated by Nasir Khusraw Qubadiyani, focusing on its significance within his ethical framework. Recognizing humans as rational beings who make choices influenced by conflicting motivations, the research addresses key questions: What constitutes the virtue system in Nasir Khusraw's perspective? What factors contributed to its formation, and what ethical principles can be derived from it? Utilizing a transcendent logical analysis methodology and drawing on library resources, the study first delineates the components of the virtue system, then identifies the necessary conditions for realizing these virtues, and concludes with a synthesis of ethical teachings. The findings highlight core virtues such as moderation, honesty, justice, and piety, alongside conditions essential for their attainment, including knowledge of God, rational inquiry, detachment from worldly possessions, religiosity, and the integration of knowledge with action. The resulting ethical teachings emphasize the realization of moral conduct, asceticism, and divine proximity.
