Javidan Khirad (Eternal Wisdom) by Abu ʿAli Miskawayh is one of the most significant ethical treatises of the Islamic era. Composed in the 10th century CE, the book compiles moral and philosophical sayings from Persian, Indian, Roman, Arab, and Islamic sages. Miskawayh recounts discovering a manuscript of ancient Iranian counsel among Zoroastrian priests and expands it with wisdom from other traditions. Unlike his other work Tahdhīb al-Akhlāq, which draws on Greek practical philosophy, Javidan Khirad is rooted in Eastern ethical heritage and resembles classical Persian andarz literature in tone and structure.
