Abstract

This research seeks to answer the question of what is the logic of the political thought of Nizam al-Mulk in the form of the theoretical model of Spragens' is.

Regarding the theoretical framework, the result of the review of his Siyāsatnāmeh and political thought is the problem and the main crisis in the opinion of Khajeh are the lack of familiarity of the Turks with the state of governance of society and ill-religious.

He sees the causes of the problem as a tradition of tribalism of the Seljuq Turks and a lack of familiarity with the state of the art. Other causes are the Isma'ili, the esoteric, the Qurmatian and ill-religious.

According to Khwaja, treatments are: formation of a divorced and just government, not hiring the ill-religious people in the government and the establishment of military.

His ideal is a combination of the ancient Iranian tradition and the Islamic period.
