Analyzing the Relationship between the Approach of Islamic Philosophical Ethics and Contemporary Ethics

There are ambiguities in the relationship between the approach of Islamic philosophical ethics and contemporary moral philosophy due to semantic similarity. This article tries to remove any ambiguity in this field by carefully analyzing their relationship in a historical and descriptive way. Based on the findings of the study, both cases include normative ethics, but some topics of contemporary philosophy of ethics, such as meta-ethics and applied ethics, are not in Islamic philosophical ethics or have very little emergence. Islamic philosophical ethics has a subject-oriented approach and is a subset of virtue ethics, but most contemporary philosophers have an action-oriented approach to ethics. Unlike Islamic philosophical ethics, modern moral systems are secular and are not even assigned to followers of a particular religion. Finally, it will be noted that in recent decades, new approaches to ethics can be seen among Muslim philosophers. The result of this change in attitude is the greater independence of Islamic philosophical ethics from the Greek Aqaba and a greater connection to Islamic religious teachings.
