Examining the meaning, origin and development of \"Divine Command Theory\", it underscores the philosophical bases of religious fundamentalism that hinder social development and hamper dialogue between different cultures and nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging traditional stereotypes of Islam, the book refutes contemporary claims that Islam is a defining case of ethical voluntarism, and that the prominent theory in Islamic ethical thought is Divine Command Theory. The author argues that, in fact, early Arab-Islamic scholars articulated moral theories: theories of value and theories of obligation. She traces the development of Arabo-Islamic ethics from the early Islamic theological and political debates between the Kharijites and the Murji'ites, shedding new light on the moral theory of Abd al-Jabbar al-Mu'tazili and the effects of this moral theory on post-Mu'tazilite ethical thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlighting important aspects in the development of Islamic thought, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Islamic moral thought and ethics, Islamic law, and religious fundamentalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariam Al-Attar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415555191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415555197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Mariam Al-Attar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064932577535,"sku":"9780415555197","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23427621-d193-47a5-aaf8-ea3a87dc8f6e.jpg?v=1768672007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islamic-ethics-mariam-al-attar-9780415555197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
