Khajeh Nasir looks at ethics in Nasserite ethics with a philosophical approach and divides practical wisdom into three categories of ethics, housekeeping and civilized politics and divides ethics into two categories of virtues and vices. He believes in the four main virtues: wisdom, courage, chastity and justice, and puts other virtues under the subset of these four main virtues and believes that these four main virtues are obtained from the different functions of the three different powers. Examining the poems of the poets of the Awakening period, it was found that among the four main virtues, the poets of this period paid more attention to the virtue of justice.

The most important moral virtue in the subgroup of the main virtue of wisdom that the poets of this period have dealt with is the attention to science and knowledge that has been proposed by poets to compensate for the backwardness of the country. Under the main virtue of courage, these poets have paid more attention to issues such as diligence, humility and courage. Regarding the main virtue of chastity, the subjects of chastity and hijab, contentment, good mood, and patience are more frequent. In the sub-category of the main virtue of justice, poets have paid more attention to issues such as religiosity, truth and honesty, kindness to parents, compassion and rewards.
