Persian literature represents a major part of the history of Iranian thought. Among its figures, Muslih al-Din Saadi Shirazi stands as a cornerstone—often hailed as the "second Ferdowsi." This article explores Saadi’s political thought through the lens of the characteristics and components of the political culture of ruling authorities. It focuses in particular on the cognitive, evaluative, and emotional dimensions of political culture as reflected in Saadi’s works. His outlook, attitudes, values, and sentiments—markers of his political culture and his position on the ruling elite of his time—can be traced throughout his writings. From this angle, the study seeks to understand the political culture of ruling elites as envisioned by Saadi. The findings suggest that, in Saadi’s view, this culture is manifested both realistically and ideally in various forms—ranging from feelings of political insecurity to rationalism, a commitment to justice, and a moderate approach. These characteristics appear to be especially prominent in Saadi’s portrayal of the political culture of ruling elites. The study draws primarily on Kulliyat-i Saadi, based on the edition by Mohammad Ali Foroughi. Methodologically, the research adopts an interpretive approach and uses qualitative content analysis, with data collected through library sources.
