Philosophy of Ethics is an English rendition of the Persian book "Falsafeh-ye Akhlaq" by the great Muslim thinker and reformer Shahid Murtada Mutahhari. Using his signature style of applying traditional Islamic sources to contemporary questions, the author presented this Islamic perspective on the philosophy of ethics by continuously engaging with the views of a wide range of philosophers including Epicurus, Plato, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Kant, Russell, Nietzsche, Marx, Dostoyevsky, Maeterlinck, Gustave Le Bon, Sartre, and Toynbee. Mutahhari's philosophical discussion covers such issues as the what-ness of ethics, natural action and moral action, theory of emotionalism, conscience theory, Islamic ethics and morality, self and non-self, knowledge of the self, and the spiritual and moral crises in the present age. He also examines questions on the criterion for moral action, the 'self' in ethics, and Russell's and Marxist theories on morality.

Murtada Mutahhari was a leading theoretician of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. As an accomplished scholar of Islamic sciences, he played a pivotal role in forming the modern Islamic discourse which served as the foundation of the revolution. With close to ninety works to his credit, he is considered one of the leading thinkers of the global Islamic movement in the twentieth century.
