Abstract

The article examines the etymological origin of the concepts of honesty and justice and their social, political and legal significance in state and public governance. Based on historical-comparative, hermeneutic and sociological approaçes, it analyzes the priority of honesty and justice in public service in the teaçings of Eastern thinkers Abu Nasr al-Farabi, Nizam al-Mulk, Amir Timur and Alişer Navoi. The views of Western thinkers Thomas Aquinas, Roger Bacon, Niccolò Maçiavelli, Thomas Hobbes and Çarles Louis Montesquieu are also analyzed, and the common and distinctive features of both traditions and their relevance for modern public service are identified.
