  \n\nSpeakers \nFeriel Bouhafa \n\nDescription: \nConceptions of the Good 
 in Islamic Theology and Philosophy: The Relation Between Metaphysics and E
 thicsby Feriel Bouhafa, University of CambridgeIn this talk, I share my 
 new book project on the conceptions of the good in Islamic philosophy and 
 theology in the classical period. More specifically, my discussion shall 
 interrogate the following question: how do we grasp the grounds of moralit
 y related to God in Islamic theology and philosophy? My research puts forw
 ard a new perspective on Islamic ethics to showcase the variegation of eth
 ical approaches in Islamic thought, which has been overshadowed by the do
 minant claim in the field that limited the ethical discourse into a jarrin
 g perspective between rationalism and literalism. Instead, I argue that t
 he different grounds presented by some theologians and philosophers (11th-
  12th) to explain the basis of morality are not premised on a commitment t
 o rationality or the literal word of God rather on diverse construal of th
 e correlation between metaphysics: the domain of God’s actions and ethics:
  the domain of human actions. After unpacking these different interpretati
 ons, I shall glean the different conceptions of the good in Islamic theol
 ogy and philosophy and their imprint in Islamic jurisprudence.Feriel Bouha
 fa is a scholar of Arabic/Islamic philosophy with a focus on moral/legal p
 hilosophy in medieval thought. After receiving her Ph.D. from Georgetown U
 niversity in 2016, she has taken a postdoctoral fellowship in the philoso
 phy department at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and then served
  as a lecturer and senior research associate in the Faculty of Divinity at
  the University Cambridge.Registration: https://utoronto.zoom.us/meeting/r
