Abstract



One of the texts which has remained unknown despite its beauties, is Kherad Nameh (a philosophical book) authored by an unknown compiler of the 6th Century AH. This article relies upon library sources and studies the continuation of the political thoughts of Iranshahri (The Land of Aryans) in Kherad Nameh (this philosophical book), while also briefly introducing this book and its style of writing. The main theory of this book is based on royal idealism and founded on the teachings of Amshasepand. The compiler manifests appropriate lifestyles, in an effort to depict the theory of royal idealism in a utopia, based on the thoughts of Iranshahri (The Land of Aryans).
