Abstract :
More than anything else, contemporary man is looking for a shelter to gain inner peace through physical comfort. The inner peace of a person is formed through the expansion of spirituality and morality and the strengthening of the spiritual powers of a person. One of the most important reliable centers for human beings to improve their lives and obtain relative comfort are scientific societies and academic centers. The university is the center of human evolutions and destinies and the source of reform and corruption of life, and in the context of the governance of science, the university is the supplier and feeder of content so that science always exhibits a more optimal existence than its "ideal self". An ethical university can be a promoter and discourse creator of useful science and shape a wise life through the governance of science. The most important feature of an ethical university is the spiritual construction of the "ideal self" in accordance with the environment and based on targeted ideals. The extension of the "ideal self" in the divine logic leads to the evolutionary self by using the natural self, and in the logic of materialism only to the natural self. The ideal self, despite the inhibiting variables, is considered as a spiritual structure for an ethical university, which can be proven through religious texts.
