Islamic Ethics

Comprised of 56 articles from scholars based in 31 cities in 13 countries and many cultures, this two-volume collection is the first English-language reference work on Islamic ethics. From literary, to theoretical, applied and thematic realms, the resource covers many subjects and questions of Islamic ethics. It serves as a scholarly bridge between classical perspectives and modern approaches to many challenging moral questions faced by contemporary societies. It also provides readers with information for the study of comparative ethics as well the sources, formative histories, courses of theoretical developments, methods of applications, and cultural variances of ethical norms in the practices of Islamic societies, cultures and civilization. Through articles articulated by authors across five continents, the two volumes present nuanced negotiations between traditional norms of ethics and local cultures in relation to day-to-day life. These questions include normative evaluations of cardinal sins or righteous deeds, eschatological implications for degrees of morality, behavioural etiquettes, private or public ethics, methods and levels of ethical education and the relationship between ethics and jurisprudence.Articles in Islamic Ethics also negotiate between Quranic injunctions, exegeses, prophetic traditions, social costumes, works of scholars, cultural factors, scientific progresses, interfaith moral exchanges, societal lifestyles, institutional moral frameworks, and meta-ethics.
