Abstract

Objective: In the present article, an attempt is made to introduce the important moral tendencies that are considered in the discussion of political ethics, and then it is discussed what should be the desired political ethics in the current Iranian society? Which model and theory of political ethics is more compatible with our society and how should this model be implemented?
Method: In fact, this research tries to show with a descriptive and analytical method how these two types of theories have affected our intellectual space and with what combination can the desired moral theory in the Iranian political system be achieved.
Results: The view of Islamic and Aristotelian virtuous ethics has been discussed in our society from the past and has maintained its authority and superior position until today. Theories of normative ethics and applied ethics, which include organizational ethics and professional ethics, have entered the discourse of the Islamic Republic of Iran in recent decades. These theories are briefly discussed.
Conclusion: What has been proposed as an autonomous view as a result of research is the theory of professional political ethics, which is irrigated by virtuous ethics. This theory is most in line with our intellectual tradition and on the other hand also solves the problems of the traditional view.
