Abstract

While various Arab-Islamic modernist projects have targeted particular issues as the starting points for reforms, like politics and political authority, education, public culture, religious thought and institutions, some other projects have taken ethics as the starting point for any possible renewal, be it theoretical or practical, political or intellectual. This chapter contextualises this discussion, following this outline: first, it refers to the place of ethics in modern and contemporary Arab-Islamic reformist thought since the so-called renaissance (nahda) of the late 19th century, passing by the generation of scholarship of the first half of the 20th century, and reaching the new trajectories of thought in the second half of the 20th century, or the generation post-1967; general reference to classical works on ethics is made here, too; second, four major reflective notes on the trusteeship paradigm of Taha Abderrahmane as a modern robust theory of ethics are made, firstly, for clarifications of the scope of the paradigm, and secondly for opening new paths of reflection and research around the issue of ethics and modernity; finally, a summary of the book content is presented.
