THE ROLE OF ETHICAL LANGUAGE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

Abstract

This paper will attempt to shed light on the problem whether ethical language can play a role for dissolving the tension between science and religion within the context of ecological crises. It will claim that ethical language, which concerns both the order of things in nature and human world can play a mediating role between scientific language which targets basically the order of things in nature and religious language which addresses human world. This is because ethical language has a semantic field which contains both the semantics of “nature” (khulq in Arabic) and the semantics of “actions” based upon nature (akhlaq, morality in Arabic) at the same time
