Barthes, the prominent French semiotician, by proposing a fivefold system of codes (proairetic, hermeneutic, symbolic, cultural, and semantic), offers a model of textual reading in which meaning emerges not from the author’s intention but from the interaction of signifying layers and the active participation of the reader. This theoretical framework opens up new horizons for the analysis of Persian ethical texts—texts in which meaning arises less from direct moral exhortation than from tensions and symbolic and cultural oppositions. With regard to Saʿdi’s Bustan, particularly Chapter Six (Contentment), it can be argued that Saʿdi created an open and multilayered text centuries before the theoretical formulation of structuralism; a text in which ethics takes shape through the dialogue among signs. Oppositions such as poverty/wealth, dignity/greed, reason/self, and body/soul reconstruct ethics at the level of language and structure, endowing contentment with the function of a signifying act that leads to liberation from the domination of desire. The aim of this study is to examine the mechanisms of meaning production through Barthes’s codes in the chapter on contentment and to elucidate the relationship between ethics and language in the Bustan. The research adopts a descriptive–analytical method based on Barthes’s semiotic model, in which a network of semantic oppositions in the chapter on contentment is mapped onto his five codes. The findings indicate that Chapter Six of the Bustan constitutes a philosophical system of meaning production, in which contentment redirects meaning from desire and appetite toward reflection and liberation.
