Ranking Moral Status of Mundane Creatures
Ali Karimian Seyqalani
Abstract:   (1513 Views)
The particular outlook of some scholars about human is raised from principles of a particular cosmography that considers human as the unique creature of the universe with “personality” based upon wisdom and reason. This view has also relegated the other creatures to the level of “thing and tool” for human life. Meanwhile, the Islamic philosophy inspired by the Quran, not only considers that all creatures in the nature and environment have sense and personality, but also proposes particular criteria for evaluation of the ethical status of the creatures and takes another pattern into account to explain the dignity of the creatures of the universe. Having an overview on the opponent’s viewpoint, the paper intends to explain the Quran’s view, based on the achieved pattern from its verses.
Keywords: the universe pyramid, ethical status, negation of thing-based outlook, stream of perfect qualities, dignity criteria.
