Nahj al- Balāgha Moral Teachings VS Western MoralSystems; Comparative Study

Three moral theories of Virtueism, idealism, and dutyism have been proposed in the philosophy of ethics to determine the value of moral action. The main question of the research is: Which of the mentioned cases are more compatible with the moral propositions of Nahj al-Balāgha? In this regard, presenting the ideas accepted in the philosophy of ethics on Nahj al-Balāgheh as one of the original sources of Islamic thought is a way to define Islam moral system. This article has provided some clues for understanding the moral norms of Islam according to the words of Imam Ali (A.S.) and has presented it in a descriptive-analytical way. In the process of researching several propositions in Nahj al-Balagheh, a unified theory of "virtue-based idealism" is obtained. The findings of the research show that Imam Ali's goal is monotheism in deeds and separation from anything but God, which is not compatible with any of the popular idealism views.
