Abstract: (2573 Views)
Allameh Muhammad Taqi Jafari has many and varied discussions on ethics, and by searching through these discussions, one can arrive at a coherent theory about moral value from his perspective. He has an aesthetic interpretation of moral value, and he believes that moral value at its highest level negates any utilitarian view. According to Allameh, Jamal Mutlaq, the beauty of God, is incapable of any explanation, but at a lower level, on an abstract level, a single explanation can be provided for different types of beauty based on the concept of harmony. The theory of existential fitness on moral value has significant similarities with Allameh Jafari's theory of moral beauty, and the important distinction between the two is in the issue of explicability of God's moral beauty. In this paper, a formulation of Allameh Jafari theory of moral beauty is presented and the extension of that theory in the theory of existential fitness is clarified.
