Ibn Taymiyya's Theological Ethics (Hardcover)

Icon of modern-day fundamentalist movements, firebrand religious
purist, tireless polemicist against the intellectual schools of his
timeathe Ibn Taymiyya we know is a thinker we often associate with
hard attitudes and dogmatic stances. Yet there is another Ibn
Taymiyya that stands out from the pages of his work, the thinker
who fashions himself as a master of the via media and as a defender
of the harmony between human reason and the religious faith. The
aim of this book is to shed fresh light on Ibn Taymiyya's
intellectual identity by a close investigation of his ethical
thought. Earlier Muslim thinkers debating ethical value had been
exercised by a number of core questions. What makes actions right
or wrong? How do human beings know it? And what is God's
relationship to the evaluative standards discerned by the human
mind? An investigation of Ibn Taymiyya's engagement with such
questions has much to teach us about his intellectual program and
particularly about the role of reason and the linchpin concept of
human nature (fitra) within this program. It also has much to teach
us about Ibn Taymiyya's relationship to the intellectual landscape
of his time, bringing us up against a rich tapestry of ethical
discussions unfolding within theology, philosophy and legal theory
in the classical period. At the same time, a close reading of Ibn
Taymiyya's ethics invites us to confront not only the content of
his thought but its form, and more particularly those features of
his writing that fracture our efforts to unify his thought.
