SoSe 16: Ethics in Graeco-Arabic Philosophy and Islamic Theology
Hinrich Biesterfeldt
Kommentar
The Greek ethical tradition has found its ways into Arabic literature in various forms: the aphoristic so-called wisdom literature (hikma), popular ethics proper (by authors such as Yahya b. Adi and Miskawayh), and mirrors for princes. Islamic religion and piety have their own ethical literature (e.g. Abu Ṭalib al-Makki’s Qut and al-Ghazali’s Iḥya), and it is interesting to notice convergences as well as differences between both realms. The seminar will consist of a close reading and comparative analysis of selected passages from texts that feature (1) the structure and functions of the human soul and (2) the ideas on its virtues and vices.
