Traditional and modern conceptualization of morality

Abstract:
Theoretical studies and actual usage of morality lies in our conception of morality. This paper has centered on the definition of morality in a comparative method. The word akhlaq, morality, has different meanings. In this paper, by the word is meant the characteristics of human behavior. It had been traditionally known as an actually rooted ability of human soul of which moral behavior originates. Nowadays, however, it has been regarded as a behavior example for communication founded on human rights. The views, both, have known the definition of morality unconditioned with regard to goodness and badness. Moreover, stability, freedom and gradation of morality have been accepted in both. They, however, differ in some aspects; the traditional knows morality as inner quality, while the modern as outer. The latter, contrary to the former, shows the numerous subjectivity of morality. In the traditional definition, mentally rooted characteristics have been known as the origin of moral behavior. Inserting the cause in definition, makes principles unconditioned and, contrary to modern definition, omits view`s state of being comprehensive.
