Grounded in the ancient Mirror for Princes genre, the didactic poem Kutadgu Bilig reflects the medieval Turko-Islamic philosophical discourse on virtuous leadership, wherein the main characters of the poem engage in profound discussions about justice, morality, and wisdom by elucidating their significance in governance. Moreover, the article has revealed how Kutadgu Bilig expounds on the essential role of virtues in nurturing future political rulers as virtuous leaders through the cultivation of virtue ethics. As the paper finds, virtue ethics takes a central position in Yūsuf’s teachings, and the Kutadgu Bilig was written to illuminate the path to wisdom in governance and ethical decision-making for young political rulers. The first part of the paper examines Yūsuf’s thoughts on virtuous leadership and his utopian ideas about “the virtuous ruler” (Kün Togdi) in the Kutadgu Bilig by focusing on his qualities. In the second part, the paper analyzes the positive effects of virtuous leadership according to Yūsuf’s perspectives. Special attention is given to Yūsuf’s four principles in the Kutadgu Bilig - Justice, Fortune (Happiness), Wisdom (or Intellect), and Contentment , which are examined in the context of virtue ethics. Moreover, the article attempted, so far as it has been able, to trace Yūsuf’s ideas on virtuous leadership with the thoughts of the Islamic philosopher al-Fārābī.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В статье рассматривается выдающееся произведение Юсуфа Хас-Хаджиба Баласагуни „Кутадгу Билиг“ с целью анализировать его мысли об этике добродетели и лидерстве. Дидактическая поэма „Кутадгу Билиг“, основанная на древнем жанре „Зеркала для принцев“ („Mirrors for Princes“), отражает средневековый тюрко-исламский философский дискурс о добродетельном лидерстве, в котором главные герои поэмы ведут глубокие дискуссии о справедливости, морали и мудрости, разъясняя их значение в контексте политического лидерства. Более того, в статье показано, как Кутадгу Билиг раскрывает важную роль этических и интеллектуальных добродетелей для формирование будущих политических правителей как добродетельных лидеров на основе культивирования этика добродетели. Как отмечается в статье, этика добродетели занимает центральное место в учении Юсуфа, а „Кутадгу Билиг“ была написана, чтобы осветить путь к мудрости в эффективном управлении и этическом принятии решений для молодых политических правителей. В первой части статьи рассматривается моральные и этические взгляды Юсуфа в контексте добродетельного лидерство и его утопические взгляды о „добродетельном правителя“ (Кюн Тогди) в „Кутадгу Билиг“, фокусируясь на его этических и интеллектуальных качествах. Во второй части статьи рассматривается позитивные эффекты добродетельного лидерства с точки зрения Юсуфа. Особое внимание уделяется четырем принципам Юсуфа в „Кутадгу Билиг“ - справедливость, счастье, мудрость (или интеллект) и умеренность, которые рассматриваются в контексте этика добродетели. Более того, в статье предпринята попытка, связать идеи Юсуфа о добродетельном лидерстве с мыслями исламского философа аль-Фараби.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>virtue ethics</kwd><kwd>Turko-Islamic political thought</kwd><kwd>al-Fārābī</kwd><kwd>Yūsuf Khāṣṣ-Hājib</kwd><kwd>the Kutadgu Bilig</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>этика добродетели</kwd><kwd>средневековая тюрко-исламская политическая мысль</kwd><kwd>аль-Фараби</kwd><kwd>Юсуф Баласагуни</kwd><kwd>Кутадгу Билиг</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Scalzo G, Akrivou K, Fernandez GM.
