The Role of Intellectual Islamic Heritage in the Discourse of Modern Islamic Philosophy Laura TOKTARBEKOVA
The article deals with the role of classical falsafa heritage in the modern Islamic philosophical discourse. Based on interpretations of textsof modern Islamic philosophers, the authors come to the conclusion about the relevance of the philosophical heritage of the past for the development of di-rections and methodologies of modern humanitarian knowledge. Conducting a comparative analysis of the doctrines of the Islamic Middle Ages and modern philosophers, the authors substantiate the commonality of approaches to the con-ceptualization of subjectivity, obligation, and existence. Modern Islamic philosophy is an experience of interaction between philosophy and theology. In Islamic philosophy, ethical questions were posed in connection with the discovery of moral consciousness in man. Human being, defined by moral sense, is understood by Islamic philosophers as a moral sensible being, in which a moral man and a moral society are formed. Exploring this issue, the authors have come to understand the integrity of modern Islamic philosophy, its interpre-tation as a philosophy of morality and moral philosophy.
