(Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī's Purposive Ethics)
Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, who produced huge and precise works in the fields of theology, logic, metaphysics, usul, tafsīr, and medicine, would have been expected to transform the tradition after him, as he did in his other fields, had he written on ethics. However, although al-Rāzī wrote a work on practical ethics, he did not write a work on theoretical ethics. This book attempts to partially compensate for this deficiency by tracing al-Rāzī's thoughts on ethics and his intellectual transformations step by step through the texts. For this purpose, the largest selection of al-Rāzī's works, many of them manuscripts, has been used.
On the one hand, this book fills a gap in the field of Islamic ethical thought, and on the other hand, it constitutes an important element in filling the gaps in the studies on Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī's ethical thought.
