The present article proceeds in three parts: first, I describe George F. Hourani's approach and its continued relevance in the study of Islamic ethics. Next, I demonstrate the weaknesses of Hourani's approach, particularly his commitment to mapping Islamic thought anachronistically onto a menu of “isms” derived from modern ethical theory. To highlight the urgency of reexamining Hourani's approach and influence, I also demonstrate how scholars' continued reliance upon Hourani perpetuates the limitations of his approach in the study of Islamic ethics today. Finally, I call attention to the ongoing efforts of scholars in the study of Islamic ethics to do better. I conclude that if Islamic ethics is to thrive, the field must reexamine its reliance on Hourani.

在胡拉尼的阴影下：21世纪伊斯兰伦理的思考

本文分为三个部分：首先，我描述乔治·F·胡拉尼的方法及其在伊斯兰伦理学研究中的持续相关性。接下来，我将展示胡拉尼方法的弱点，特别是他致力于将伊斯兰思想不合时宜地映射到源自现代伦理理论的“主义”菜单上。为了强调重新审视胡拉尼的方法和影响的紧迫性，我还展示了学者们对胡拉尼的持续依赖如何使他的方法在当今伊斯兰伦理研究中的局限性永久化。最后，我呼吁大家关注伊斯兰伦理学研究中学者们不断做出的努力，以求做得更好。我的结论是，如果伊斯兰伦理要蓬勃发展，该领域必须重新审视其对胡拉尼的依赖。
