The credit-based founding of the science of maqasid

After the book "Ethical Concepts between Credal and Secular" in which the well-known Moroccan philosopher Taha Abdel Rahman laid the foundations of his theory of credal ethics, here he is — in this book in your hands — applying this theory in the field of "the science of Maqasid." He sees that this science is based on the principle of claiming expertise in determining the Maqasid of the Sharia; so when the Maqasidi says: "This is the intended purpose of the Sharia from its ruling," he does not only claim knowledge of the Sharia's ruling but also claims to judge its ruling, which makes the Maqasidi not only a scholar but also a judge; and if his knowledge of the Islamic ruling makes his science acquire "legitimacy," then his judgment on the Islamic ruling necessitates that his science acquire "legality," in addition to "legitimacy." This reformist thinker has undertaken to clarify the credal foundations that provide "the science of Maqasid" with the required "legality," explaining how this foundational support, as much as it opens unprecedented ethical horizons in this science, also requires re-examining some concepts, perceptions, and assumptions that still prevent this science from launching into a broader horizon, so that it becomes a global ethical science.
