THE ISLAMIC AND NATIONAL VALUE PARADIGMS IN STATEHOOD AND ETHICS

Abstract

Values are far more than personal preferences; they are the bedrock upon which collective identity, national aspirations, and even state governance are built. In the context of Central Asian philosophy and history, the spiritual and moral principles have historically provided the structure for political order and social justice. This thesis explores how the profound depth of religious values (specifically Islamic principles) intertwines with national traditions and political ideals to form a comprehensive moral code for both the individual and the state, as famously embodied in the legacy of Amir Temur.
