Abstract

The relationship between ethics and politics is one of the most important issues in the politics of applied and professional ethics. There are different views on the relationship between the two. One of the views expressed in relation to the two is that politics is ethical. In this article, which has been written by a descriptive-analytical method, the components of ethical policy have been examined from Ayatollah Khamenei's point of view. The question the author is trying to answer in this article is: What are the components of Ayatollah Khamenei's moral policy? The Thomas Sprigens model was used to analyze and analyze the material. The purpose of this article is to examine the views and opinions of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran to provide a model of ethical policy in a state based on religious democracy. In today's world where the ontological, epistemological and anthropological principles of politics are influenced by humanist, secularist, positivist currents, ethics and ethics in schools derived from the above currents are deeply colored and Machiavellian and Marxist. It has been ruled out, so it is imperative to present the components of the ethics-based policy model. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his writings and statements, is inspired by religious doctrines, especially the theoretical and practical course of Imam Ali (AS), providing a model of ethical policy.
