<![CDATA[GF. Hourani points out that other writings usually describe ethics in philosophical perspectives such as Miskawayh and al-Tusi, especially with regard to the classification and description of evil and goodness based on the treatment of Aristotle in Nikomakean ethics. He also realizes that values and ethical theories can be reconstructed from the work of eminent philosophers, but their basis is usually Neoplatonian and Aristotelian. Such books, according to Hourani offer little new general philosophical interest. Therefore, he considered that the Mutazila was the first Islamic moralist. He reconstructs a "deontologist" moral theory of Abd al-Jabbar, and gives the reader a valuable insight into the ethics of the Mutazila.This short essay will be a simple overview of what Hourani has to say with regard to Abd al-Jabbars thought of the nature of human actions-both good and bad, regardless of the theological question leading to a rational understanding of Islamic ethics.]]>
