Additionally, the analysis of ethical values in Ottoman governance through Koçibey Risalesi allows for a comprehensive understanding of the Ottoman Empire's approach to governance. The study meticulously explores how Kutadgu Bilig and Koçibey Risalesi shed light on contemporary political thoughts from the perspectives of governance philosophy and ethical values. This work aims to contribute to the history of Turkish political thought and the evolution of ethical values. In conclusion, by emphasizing the significance of Kutadgu Bilig and Koçibey Risalesi in the tradition of Turkish political thought, this study opens doors to a broader understanding of the evolution of governance philosophy and managerial ethical values.
