Reason and Tradition in Islamic Ethics
This volume collects the published essays of the late Professor Hourani on Islamic ethics in the earlier classical and formative periods of Islamic civilization. Ethics was from the start at the core of Islam, and the construction of philosophical theories to support normative ethics made those centuries among the most profound and intensely active in the history of ethical thought. The book opens with two general and contextual pieces and therea…

Islamic and Non-Islamic Origins of Mu'tazilite Ethical Rationalism
The ethical theory of the Mu'tazila is properly called ‘rationalism’, because it held that the values of human and divine actions are knowable in principle by natural human reason. Since this doctrine and related parts of the theory (mentioned in the next section) were the prevailing ethical theories in the major preIslamic religious cultures of Iran and Byzantium, the question easily arises, to what extent were the Mu'tazila as the first systema…

Learned journals and scholarly reviewing
In the course of discussing Professor N. R. Keddie's book, An Islamic Response to Imperialism, in Volume 89, no. 2, of the Journal, your reviewer finds it necessary to make many statements concerning me and my book, Afghani and 'Abduh. One such statement is to the effect that 'Both Kedourie and Keddie suggest the possibility of Afghani's homosexuality'. I shall be interested to know the evidence on which this allegation, so far as it concerns me,…

Thrasymachus' Definition of Justice in Plato's Republic
T HE PROBLEM of interpreting Thrasymachus' theory of (tb 8LxoLov) in Republic i, 338c-347e, is well known and can be stated simply. He makes two assertions about the nature of or right action, each of which appears at first glance as a definition: i. Justice is serving the interest of the stronger.' 2. Just action is obedience to the laws of one's state. But, as Socrates quickly points out (3 39b-e), these two assertions cannot both be true as de…

The Education of the Third Class in Plato's Republic
Plato pays little attention to the third class in his ideal city, regarding them as raw material on which the Guardians exercise their art. But modern criticism is interested in them, for upon their treatment and opportunities our judgement of Plato's city partly depends. They are the great mass of the people, and centuries of Christian equalitarianism have made us regard their welfare as an important criterion of the city's value

Direct Sailing Between the Persian Gulf and China in Pre-Islamic Times
In the sixth, century a.d. Chinese and Persian merchants used to meet regularly in Ceylon for the exchange of their products: this is clear from Cosmas Indicopleustes, xi, 336, and Procopius, Persian Wars , i, 20, 9–13. In addition to this the existence of direct sea-commerce between the Sassanid Empire and China has often been asserted as an established fact, e.g. by J. T. Reinaud, Relations des voyages faits far les Arabes , etc. (Paris, 1845),…
