Faith as Basis for Ethical Meaning

Share this post :

This research attempts to shed light on faith as a foundation for ethical meaning.

 This is through a series of key concepts: the concepts of faith and ethics, the relationship between ethics and religion, faith as a source of ethical values, the displacement of faith and the ethical emptiness in the West, ethical rigidity and Arab-Islamic thought, and living according to faith in accordance with noble ethics. 

Through these concepts, the paper research engages with Western propositions that have sought to remove faith from the realm of ethics and values, promoting a perceived conflict between faith-based ethics and secular humanistic ethics. The study reveals that the supposed disagreement, claimed by Western scholars is merely an illusion, resulting from either an inability to comprehend the true essence of faith or a deliberate attempt to displace faith as a source of ethical meaning in favor of the Western intellectual model, which currently seeks to make empirical science the foundation for ethical judgment. 

It defends the thesis that ethics grounded in faith, which unites the inner and outer aspects of humanity, its meaning and structure, its religion and worldly life, is the ideal model for solving the ethical crisis faced by contemporary humans in general. It is also the most effective remedy for the ethical emptiness created by Western modernity.
