Jaelani, Randa
Abstract
Ethics, or moral philosophy, is intrinsically linked to human nature. It plays an important role in addressing the uncertainties and anxieties facing contemporary society. The loss of faith in religion in modern society and the neglect of its guiding principles have contributed to the fragmentation of moral values. Therefore, it is important to include a religious perspective in studying ethics. At the same time, in modern moral philosophy, utilitarian and Kantian positions (deontology) are said to be the most popular ethical theories. However, on the other hand, in the development of ethical studies (especially Islam), new ideas have emerged as a response to previous ethical studies. This research aims to integrate ethical theories from two different traditions. The integration between Immanuel Kant with deontology ethics and Muhammad Abdullah Draz with Qur'anic ethics. This research is a literature study using a philosophical approach. The method used in the process is critical analysis. In collecting data, researchers use the documentation method by utilizing data sources such as books, journals, and others. Integrating Immanuel Kant’s deontological ethics and Muhammad Abdullah Draz’s Qur’anic ethics seems to be an extraordinary force. The result of the integration of both theories, “Religio-Transcendental Ethics”, can be an alternative, even a way out of the tension of the existing ethical theory debates. “Religio-Transcendental Ethics” is able to provide answers to questions that are fundamental in the realm of ethical philosophy. Questions such as obligation, good and evil, moral value, good will and others are some examples of it. The difficulties in reading and obtaining a comprehensive understanding of Kant’s deontological ethics can be explained by Draz’s ethical theory and vice versa. Furthermore, from the integration process, a new perspective is obtained in the study of ethics. The new perspective, which the researcher called “Religio-Transcendental Ethics”, can be the basis for considering human conduct and moral values. Among the many branches of philosophy, ethics is a branch that has received less attention. This is a motivation for other researchers to be able to conduct further research related to ethics. In addition, the researcher believes that all human problems have the same root problem, which is ethical problems. Therefore, the researcher suggests that research on ethics should continue.
