Ethics and Sanctions - Conversations on the Meaning and Limits of Morality

One of the most important results of the transformation of human conceptions produced in the classical world in the modern period is that people change their expectations and hopes about themselves. This situation both affected the hierarchy of questions and required a new set of questions to be asked in the field of ethics, as in many other fields. In this context, especially in the last half century, the reason for human morality has become questionable and some movements have begun to evaluate morality as a purely conscientious condition.
As long as morality is understood as a phenomenon completely related to the conscience of the individual, the relationship between individuals or the outward aspect of morality should be considered as a problem of politics rather than morality. In this case, a sanction can be mentioned as long as the situations to be considered as immoral fall into the field of law. However, since this result is essentially an extension or inevitable result of a certain conception of man and society, it requires to be considered in terms of different conceptions of man and society. In the book in your hand, you will find the texts of the conferences held in the "Conversations on Moral Sanction" series held within the Islamic Moral Thought Project in 2015 in order to question the relationship between morality and sanction.
