Muslim ethics

"Recent political and social events as well as advances in science and technology have posed challenges to the traditional Muslim discourse on ethics. In this book, Amyn B. Sajoo examines these challenges and critically analyses the implications of emerging initiatives in political pluralism and civic culture as well as moves in biomedicine and environmental conservation. He considers how the contours of public ethics in Islam may be redefined to provide shared conceptions of the good and the practically useful in pluralist societies."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

המשפט הראשון: In asserting that an act is authentically moral only in terms of the intention that accompanies it - unsullied by self-interest or 'mock virtues' - the Muslim philosopher Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-74) anticipated Kant by over five centuries.
