Abstract

The theory of “Moderation” which is based on Aristotelian ethics, since the third and fo urth centuries Be, gradually has entered into Islamic ethical literature and many scholars, such as Ibn Miskawayh and Khawajeb Nasir ai-Din Toosi, have founded their ethical works on this Idea. According to this theory, the criteria of each VIRTUEs deed or action, is its rational consistency with “the mean”; and avoiding the excess and deficiency which are considered as v ices. In this st udy, by examining this theory and comparing it with the Islam’s ethical theory- which is expressed in I slam’s main texts, i.e the Quran and hadith - first of all, we will try to set forth an accurate and inclusive view in this regard; and finally, we will show the incompleteness of the basis of the Aristotelian theory of “Moderation” and prov that according to reliable religious texts, the most important criterion for “happiness” and human being’s “"salvation”, is his “intimacy to God” that encompass all excellences. And vice versa, any deed that prevent person from approximating to the almighty God, is called “wretchedness”.
