Character of
Mu tazilite
Ethics
SOPHIA VASALOU
Must good deeds be rewarded and wrongdoers
punished? Would God be unjust if He failed to
punish and reward? And what is it about good
or evil actions and moral identity that might
generate such necessities? These were some of
the vital religious and philosophical questions
that eighth- and ninth-century Mu tazilite theo¬
logians and their sophisticated successors at¬
tempted to answer, giving rise to a distinctive
ethical position and one of the most prominent
and controversial intellectual trends in medieval
Islam. The Mu tazilites developed a view of ethics
whose distinguishing features were its austere
moral objectivism and the crucial role it assigned
to reason in the knowledge of moral truths. Cen¬
tral to this ethical vision was the notion of moral
desert, and of the good and evil consequences-
reward or punishment—deserved through a
persons acts.
Moral Agents and Their Deserts is the first
book-length study of this central theme in
Mu tazilite ethics, and an attempt to grapple
with the philosophical questions it raises. At
the same time, it is a bid to question the ways
in which modern readers, coming to medieval
Islamic thought with a philosophical interest,
seek to read and converse with Mu tazilite the¬
ology. Moral Agents and Their Deserts tracks the
challenges and rewards involved in the pursuit
of the right conversation at the seams between
modern and medieval concerns.
SOPHIA VASALOU is research fellow in
philosophy at Gonville and Caius College, Uni¬
versity of Cambridge.
