When we look into the history of classical Islamic philosophy, we can notice the paramount importance of ethical writings from the 10th to the16th century. In my present study, I will try to focus on the specificity
of this classical ethics; to underline its relationship to Greek ethics but also its close relationship to the Qur’ān and the Sunna and try to show how this very specific heritage has its place in Muslim contexts today.
