ETIKA POLITIK DALAM TRADISI ISLAM DAN BARAT: PERBANDINGAN KONSEPTUAL ANTARA NASIRUDDIN TUSI DAN IMMANUEL KANT

Abstract

This research is a comparative study with the aim of examining the political ethics thoughts of two great figures from different philosophical traditions, namely Nasiruddin Tusi from Islamic civilisation and Immanuel Kant from Western philosophy. By using literature study method, by analysing Nasiruddin Tusi: building an integrative political ethics system between individual morality and a just government structure, based on Islamic values and classical philosophy. Immanuel Kant: political ethics based on the principle of categorical imperative with emphasis on individual moral autonomy and freedom. These differences result in the common ground that morality is the main foundation of political practice. The striking difference is in the philosophical approach, where Tusi combines theological and empirical aspects in a socio-political framework, while Kant brings a rational-secular approach that emphasises individual moral consistency. The finding of both lies in political governance that upholds ethics, justice, and integrity.
