🔻"The Just God and the Human Moral Agent According to Muslim Theologians," Lec01
speaker: Dr. Hassan Ansari
Feb 24, 2026

🟥 Lecture in Persian. closed captions (CC) and auto-translate are available on our channel.

Summary:
In this session, we discussed general concepts concerning the topic of justice, as well as the theologians’ understanding of God’s justice. We then continued with a discussion on the subject of moral responsibility (taklīf) and the morally responsible human being — that is, the human moral agent — from the perspective of theologians.

Within this same framework, we examined reason and its definition according to theologians, and whether moral values, from the standpoint of reason and human understanding, correspond to objective reality or are merely rational constructs. Finally, we asked: Is it possible to speak of God’s morality?

خدای عادل و انسان مکلف از ديدگاه متکلمان، دکتر حسن انصاری

جلسه اول: در اين جلسه کلياتی درباره موضوع عدالت و همچنين فهم متکلمان درباره عدالت خدا سخن گفتيم و در دنباله به موضوع تکليف و انسان مکلف از ديدگاه متکلمان به بحث پرداختيم. در همين چارچوب از عقل و تعريف آن نزد متکلمان بحث کرديم و اينکه آيا ارزش های اخلاقی از ديدگاه عقل و درک انسانی واقع‌نما هستند و يا صرفا اعتبارات عقلی اند؟ آيا می توان از اخلاق خدا سخن گفت؟ (۲۴ فوریه، ۲۰۲۶)
