Abstract

The technological advancement gives ambivalent impacts. In one side provides benefits and easiness to human life and in the other side, it comes along with serious problematical impacts that harm, threat, and danger the future of humanity and the environment. That was because its development is based on the value-free claim that won’t pay attention to moral judgment. Also, the existence of many ethical theories makes its development float in relativism. Many experts have contributed their idea to construct an ethical system which will be suitable to cope with technological advancement covered under the term technoethics. The ethical discussions have been done by many figures, including Islamic figures whose thought aren’t based solely on ratio, but also based on God’s revelation. One of those Islamic Figures is Ibn Miskawayh, the one whom figured as the father of Islamic ethics. He describes his thought through his famous book, Tahdzib al-Akhlaq. This research aims to analyze the concept of ethics of Ibn Miskawayh and make it as the foundation to build the technoethics. This research is library research, using books, journals, documentations, and any other writing material as the sources of data. The researcher uses the descriptive and analysis method which are common to be used in any kind of library research to analyze the issues and describes the two variables of both ethical concept of Ibn Miskawayh and technology. Ethics according to Ibn Miskawayh is regarded as akhlaq, or a state of character that enable man to make actions without any deliberation. Man’s goal in this life is to achieve the noble character that will lead him to achieve the happiness. The concept of technoethics build on Ibn Miskawayh’s ethics focuses on character development. It is the effort to achieve noble character so that someone will able to establish moral value in his action, even in the hardest situation. To have a noble character, a man must have been trained, habituated, educated with virtuous deeds. Technology that was built on Ibn Miskawayh’s concept of ethics will be a valuable and virtuous technology. And someone with a virtuous character will only make a meaningful technology that won’t deviate the moral values and hence harm the future of humankind and the environment. Ibn Miskawayh’s concept of ethics has a wide discussion including the theory about love, friendship, justice, and soul disease cure. For a further research, the researcher recommends to develop the research especially to those topics by relating it to modern issues in this era, one example is the issue of ethics in business and commerce. Keywords : Ibn Miskawayh, ethics, technology, virtue, happiness.
