        5 - Comparative study of political ethics in Kalila-Demna and Machiavelli`s Prince
        MOHAMMAD JAVAD SAFDEL TEHRANI Aliakbar Amini AHOURA RAHBAR

        To clarify and explain political issues, including in the field of politics and the field of Eastern civilization, "Kalila-Demna" is considered one of the prominent works that the thinkers belonging to the field of Western civilization acknowledge more than the Eastern ones. The main hypothesis of this article is that Kalila-Demna, whose main theme was founded five centuries before Christ, has similarities in the field of ethics and anti-ethics with a work called "Prince" which was written two thousand years later. When we compare the two amoral characters, "Lion" and "Prince" based on Karen Horne's methodology in terms of typology, character and behavior, we find similarities between them. But even in this area of moral issues, the difference between the message that Kalila-Demna conveys to the reader and what Prince says is very significant. On the other hand, in Kalila-Demna, violating moral principles is condemned, while in Prince, the ruler is allowed to violate morals without being blamed or condemned. Manuscript profile

        Kalila va Dimna written by Nasrullah Munshi was rendered into the Persian literature by Qan‘i Tusi in the seventh century AD. It contains 10548 couplets and is composed in poetic meter named bahr-e motaqarib. Kalila va Dimna deals with ethical and moral teachings; hence it could be studied on the basis of moral theories. Utilitarianism is one of these moral schools. The originality of pleasure as the criterion for doing an action is the normative moral system of utilitarianism. Therefore, in this school, values ​​are preserved and advanced as far as they can be interpreted based upon the interests of individual and their collective pleasure. However, the interest of the individual always takes precedence over the collective well-being in this school. With a descriptive and analytical method, the present article tries to answer the question that which of the types of utilitarianism is more frequent in the Persian versified version of Kalila va Dimna by Qan‘i Tusi? According to the existing researches, Kalila va Dimna is composed in the form of rendering moral and ethical teachings. However, its texts mainly insist on the priority of personal interest over the collective interest. It is to the extent that it orders the king to eliminate a subordinate if he would progress in his hierarchical rank.      Manuscript profile
