Abstract

The issue of moral values is one of the most important issues in the philosophy of ethics, which plays a decisive role in ethical studies; a school-building issue that is known as the most important factor in distinguishing and forming different ethical schools. In this article, a descriptive and analytical method and using religious texts, an analogical gradation analysis of moral values is presented; an analysis that introduces moral values related to individuals based on the degree of knowledge and insight of individuals and, based on various types of innate, legislative and Religious guidance, proposes three different areas for the moral evaluation of optional traits and actions. In this article, using a descriptive and analytical method, while explaining the concept of moral value in two separate axes, some of the criteria proposed among Islamic and Western scholars have been discussed. According to the author of this article, the most important indicator in moral evaluations is the degree of knowledge and insight of individuals, and without paying attention to this element, moral judgments cannot be made.
