Abstract

Sociology of ethics examines the dialectical relationship between bioethics and social context; Therefore, ethics in the sociology of ethics is sometimes studied as an independent variable and sometimes as a dependent variable. Khwaja Nasir al-Din is a Muslim thinker who examines the relationship between ethics and the structure of society in some of his works from the perspective of the sociology of ethics. Rereading the works of Muslim thinkers provides the basis for generating new scientific knowledge in the field of sociology of ethics. The question of the relationship between morality and social structure in the thought of Khwaja Nasir al-Din Tusi is the main focus of this research. We refer to the works of Khwaja Nasir al-Din with a descriptive-analytical method, in order to extract the answer to the question of this research. This research looks at the analysis of how to use the meanings and moral values to create social distinctions in the thought of Khajah. On the one hand, this thinker has an ethical view on the formation of social solidarity, typification of societies and social control, and on the other hand, he considers the moral system to be influenced by social life, governance structure, division of labor, social pathology, etc.
