Ibn Taymiyya's Theological Ethics by Sophia Vasalou (ISBN: 9780199397839), Oxford University Press, is a new study on Islamic ethical thought in the classical period, detailing intellectual developments in Islamic theology, philosophy and legal theory.
Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya (ابن تيمية; ) was a prominent Islamic scholar, theologian and logician. The book aims to shed fresh light on Ibn Taymiyya's intellectual identity by investigating his ethical thought, considering right and wrong, and God's relationship to standards discerned by the human mind.
Vasalou, a Library of Arabic Literature Fellow at NYU Abu Dhabi and an Honorary Research Associate at Oxford Brookes University, also explores Ibn Taymiyya's relationship to the intellectual landscape of his time (1263 to 1328), bringing us up against ethical discussions unfolding within theology, philosophy and legal theory in the classical period.
