ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I will discuss some moral-philosophical questions arising from al-cAqqād’s, Khālid’s and modern use of the term I will relate their discourses of to contemporary ethical debates in the Western context-focused on the ethics of authenticity and the relation between Self and Other in ethical theory
The questions that will be raised in Chapters 12-14 link up with debates of considerable width and depth in contemporary ethics, philosophy and theology I have no ambition to provide anything like a full discussion of the moral or philosophical questions touched upon. I will restrict myself to the following questions: How can the modern Egyptian material be related to these debates? And how does the question of conscience relate to modern discussions of selfhood and otherness?
