Abstract
The discussion about the issue of ethics and politics and its relationship has been of interest for a long time; In such a way that there have been disagreements and disagreements, and even conflicting opinions. The purpose of this article is to examine Imam Khomeini's view as a politician, jurist, philosopher and mystic of the present era, about the relationship between ethics and politics, and the question is, what is the inner logic of Imam's theory about this relationship? Therefore, the present research has focused on Imam Khomeini's thought, by conducting a descriptive-analytical research in a library method, and has examined the internal logic of his ideas with the analytical model of Thomas Spriggans.
According to the findings of this research, the main axis of the internal logic of Imam Khomeini's views on ethics and politics and the relationship between the two is his Islamic worldview, and the main foundation of the Imam's worldview is the principles of Islam (especially the principle of monotheism). Imam Khomeini considers ethics and politics to be a supreme value and worship, which are the cause of human excellence and happiness and the prelude to his reaching the ultimate goal of creation. In Imam's worldview, reaching the truth of monotheism and monotheism is defined as the main goal of creation and the cause of human happiness, and this is the goal and duty of ethics and politics. As a result, the relationship between ethics and politics is an absolute, necessary and unique relationship. Based on the analysis of Imam Khomeini's views in the form of Spriggan's analytical model, the Imam believes that the solution to the existing crises is the creation of unity between ethics and politics, and in a word, the rule of Islam over all aspects of human life in the world.
