Abstract

The development of critical analysis after the nineties became the starting point for re-meaning all literature. Virtues are taught to people in their day to day life. Even if there is no education provided for a person, some kind of virtues work spontaneously in his/her thoughts. In more theoretical terms, each individual body functions as a collection of virtues. In this case, there are 18 books in Moral Literature. Virtues are being taught in educational institutions that civilized the society and studies are also being conducted to re-read them. There is not enough attention and interest towards its field of study and most of the studies is conducted with the same ideas and it feels like a kind of stagnation. In order to change them and to view literature in a new way it is necessary to carry out studies by following the research ideas undertaken with efforts.
