The Ideal Statesman in Afdal al-Din Kāshānī’s Political Theory
Abstract
This study analyzes the characteristics of the ideal state administrator according to the political thought of Afdal al-Dīn Kāshānī, a philosopher with original ideas in the field of philosophy. Kāshānī articulated his ideas on the state administrator as a recommendation to the state administrator of his time. Although there are some original aspects of his ideas, they resemble the theories of the ideal statesman in general. The research focuses on the premise that for a head of state, esteemed at the highest rank; to succeed in governance, they must first discipline their own selves, adhere to moral principles, and embody wisdom. The study highlights the contributions of lesser known Muslim philosophers who have produced unique ideas. Its main goal is to contribute to literature by analyzing the political views of a philosopher who has been largely overlooked in the past. The study involves examining the philosopher's political and ethical works, consulting the views of other philosophers and thinkers, and employes document analysis as a qualitative research technique. One of the study's key findings is that a state ruler should possess strong character, competence, knowledge, and moral virtues to effectively govern.
