Abstract

Feminist Ethics is a new and important branch of western ethics. This article is an attempt to examine one of the essential issues in this area; i. e. the necessities of feminist ethics. The paper has taken it for granted that:
1. it is necessary to criticize feminist ethics, 2.without considering some points in this criticism, one cannot take a fair position towards or against it.
Having offered the definition, background, aims, and consequences of this ethical branch, the paper has presented some reasons for the necessity of criticizing it. In addition some proposals are offered to formulate an Islamic system of ethics for females.
