An Examination of the Ethics of Submissiveness
Journal of Islamic Philosophy 4:3-20 (2008)
| Abstract | This paper examines the trait of submissiveness within the framework of virtue ethics. Submissiveness is generally regarded as a vice, particularly when evaluated in reference to patriarchal systems. This paper argues that there is something valuable about the trait of submissiveness—when it functions as a virtue—that is lacking in secular contexts, and this lack detracts from the possibilities of a good life | |||||||||
