A new Look on the Theory of Relativity of Ethics from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

In reaction to the issue of absoluteness or relativity of ethics, the majority of researchers have tried to interpret and justify those verses which give the illusion of relativity of ethics (the negative aspect of the absoluteness of ethics) and have almost ignored the positive aspect of the absoluteness of ethics based on the perspective of the holy Quran. In addition, the researchers have not given due attention to the significance of the outcomes of such an approach to the analysis of the issues of ethics philosophy in resolving the issue of ethics relativity. These two issues are the focus of the present article. The article first introduces the positive aspect of the absoluteness of ethics drawing on direct analysis of the verses of the holy Quran in this respect and second discusses the implications of the outcomes of a Quranic look on some of the major issues in the philosophy of ethics in resolving the relativity of ethics.
