((IN PROGRESS.......)) [[:File:JediKnights.jpg|thumb|300px|Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (right) and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.]]

Jedi Philosophy is the ideological views and ethics of the Jedi. This pertains to the fictional Jedi Order as portrayed by popular Star Wars Media; such as Video Games Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Movies Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back as well many other sources. It also relates to the non-fictional pseudo-philosophical Jedi Movement, such as Jediism and Jedi Realism, and their specific ideology.

There is no one text which defines the Jedi Philosophy completely, whether speaking fictional or nonfictional. Rather it is several documents, codes, and precepts which make up the overall ethical guideline which govern the Jedi and their decisions. Some of these texts are fictional, created for the Star Wars franchise (such as the Jedi Code, the Ten Rules of Engagement, and the Jedi Rules of Behavior). While others were created by "real life" Jedi specifically for the Jedi Movement (such as the Jedi Circle and the Jedi Precepts).
