Abstract: Philosophy is the education of the world and life, and philosophy is transformed into a universal world when a thought pattern or method of thinking is formed as a guide to revise the world in which we live. Though many texts originate in the tradition of Tamil philosophical thought and depict the life style of the Tamil people, Thirukkural is one of the most comprehensive books on all aspects of human life. Thirukkural specializes in Tamil Philosophy, which is designed to address every man's needs first and foremost. Thirukkural insists on the moral principles that every man should adhere to. It is an undeniable fact that we can enjoy the benefits of being a human being without suffering and suffering only if we follow the lifestyle that Valluvar proposes for the greater part of life. Various aspects of human life are explained in Thirukkural. This is especially true of the area where the life of a nonpartisan is known. If not good for a man, his life can be bitter. This is why home is important. Morality is part of the scope of the study of philosophy. Since the beginning of human history, the idea of morality has begun to take its toll. Morality has become a necessity to enrich and regulate human life. If man is to be glorified in this world or in the hereafter, he needs to live in this world with morals. The ethics of Tirukkural, which includes such moral thinking, is carried out by the analyst in the sense that a clear understanding of the subject is helpful to all activities of human life, as it is the basis of human life.
