A complex picture emerges, across his philosophical, theological, ethical and juristic works, of a consistent and multi-layered ethical theory. Al-Rāzī departs from classical Ash'arī divine command ethics to develop both a consequentialist ethics of action, which seriously rivals Mu'tazili deontological ethics, and a perfectionist ethics of character. Within the latter framework, he sets out his later, teleological theory of prophecy. The volume includes the text, published for the first time, of one of al-Rāzī's latest and most fascinating works, Censure of the Pleasures of This World , which expresses pronounced moral and epistemological pessimism.Islamic philosophy, theology, and science ;v. 64.Islamic ethicsIslamic philosophyIslamic ethics.Islamic philosophy.297.5Shihadeh Ayman692988MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828200303321Teleological ethics of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi1245879UNINA
