A Review of Islamic Ethic Metaphysics in Oriental Studies by İbrahim Aslan (İstanbul: Endülüs Yayınları, 2020), 462 pages, ISBN: 9786052105931

Abstract

In the present work, ‘Islamic Ethic Metaphysics in Oriental Studies, ’ Aslan successfully managed to groom the project with the translation, edition, and compilation of the most notable names in Islamic ethical theories. The work endowed by TUBITAK investigated the Islamic metaphysical frame of ethical theories. From the orientalists' standpoint, it urges the reader to thoroughly understand miscellaneous metaphysical issues and problematics of Kalām value systems by bringing classical discourses between Mu‘tazilites, Ashʿarite, and Maturidite. Such initiatives certainly will help the Turkish scholarship notice, grasp, and criticize the enormous literature in western languages.
