This study examines the fundamental question of whether a meaningful convergence can be found between the theory of “cognitive independence of ethics from religion” in contemporary Western moral philosophy (centered on the views of Linda Zagzbesky) and the theory of “rational goodness and ugliness” in Imami and Mu’tazilite theology? Also, the implications of this convergence for the universality of ethics and the possibility of interfaith dialogue are analyzed. The research method used in this study is a comparative-analytical method with a qualitative-critical approach. The research data were collected through an in-depth study of Zagzbesky’s works in Western moral philosophy and basic texts of Imami and Mu’tazilite theology. Data analysis was conducted at three levels:
1. Conceptual level (comparison of basic concepts such as “rational goodness and ugliness” and “cognitive independence”);
2. Theoretical level (examination of the evidence on both sides);
3. Implicational level (analysis of intercultural implications and feasibility of interfaith dialogue).
The findings of the research show that both perspectives, despite their contextual differences, believe in the independent ability of reason to recognize moral values. This central convergence has important implications: first, it presents ethics as a common language between humans and religions; second, it challenges the claims of moral relativism; and third, it provides the possibility of establishing a “framework of transcultural moral rationality” as a basis for interfaith studies and comparative philosophy. This research paves the way for future research in the fields of comparative ethics, dialogic theology, and comparative philosophy, and shows how different intellectual legacies can be used to solve common human challenges.
