His poems, especially his ode Lamiyyeh, along with the poems of other notable pre-Islamic Arab poetries, have a specific literary and sociological reputation. He was living during the Jahili era. However, his writings are full of strong moral principles and foundations, indicating the existence of excellent human thoughts and ideas, as he has mentioned some of the most important values and principles in his poetry. This descriptive-analytical article uses Thomas Nagel&rsquo;s ethical theory to investigate the ethical principles and values presented in Shanfara&rsquo;s Lamiyat al-Arab.</span><br> <span style="line-height:normal"><b><span style="color:#180066">Materials and Methods: </span></b>This article uses a library and review method.

Shanfara, to remove such inhuman customs, chose to fight. In addition, he was courageous, brave, and at the same time, forgiving and generous. He appreciates his friends, and while being able to exercise power and control, he does not prefer himself to others and respects their rights. Evidence of outstanding and valuable human and moral principles is extracted from the Lamiyah al-Arab poem.</span></span></span></div> Shanfara, Lamiyat al-Arab, ethical values, Thomas Nagel’s ethical theory 7 14 http://ijethics.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-278-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Fatemeh Hosseini f_hosseini@meshkin-iau.ac.ir 10031947532846003556 10031947532846003556 No PhD student, Department of Arabic Language and Literature, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Seyyed Ebrahim Dibaji dibajy@ut.ac.ir 10031947532846003557 10031947532846003557 Yes Department of Arabic Language and Literature, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Firouz Harirchi f-harirchi@srbiau.ac.ir 10031947532846003558 10031947532846003558 No Department of Arabic Language and Literature, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran
