THE REFLECTION OF ETHICAL PRINCIPLES IN SA’D AL-DIN AL-TAFTAZANI’S VIEWS

Abstract

Since ancient times, achieving spiritual perfection and upholding ethical principles have consistently been among the most relevant objectives in global scholarship. Material and spiritual values, created as products of rational knowledge and thinking, play a significant role in the moral upbringing of humanity. As a result of spirituality and ethics reaching a qualitatively new stage within historical trends, innovative developments in science are viewed as noteworthy social realities.
In particular, studying the philosophical heritage of thinkers who left a profound impact on societal development and spiritual life, specifically those who worked in Central Asia, has played a key role in examining the moral identity of the region's peoples. In this regard, the contributions of the scholar Sa'd al-Din al-Taftazani, who enriched Islamic philosophy—particularly the science of Kalam—with socio-political, spiritual-educational, and religious-doctrinal conceptual theories and conclusions, are of special significance.
The relevance of the theories and ideas presented in Taftazani’s scholarly heritage lies in their active contribution to elevating the socio-political, spiritual-moral, and educational spheres of our modern society to the level of global enlightened standards.
