Abstract

The study reveals the relationship between moral values as an ethical system adopted by the Arab mind and the intellectual cultural development in the Arab world. The study also presented analytically the correlation between moral values adopted by the Arab mind and linguistics, relating it to development in the Arab world. The Arab development situation is studied from the perspective of Arab thinkers who used the linguistic analytical approach to understand the Arab mind, in an attempt to realize Arabs’ moral philosophy as compared to Western intellectual perspective. The study discussed cultural development from a three dimensional perspective (philosophic-ethical-linguistic).Arabs encountered an unprecedented state of chaos and violence, because of their thoughts and therefore moral values adopted. The study concluded that moral values as adopted by Arabs are mainly affected by their language usage, reflecting the intellectual status of the Arab mind, and therefore affecting cultural development of the Arab world.

Summary

Introduction

There has been an increase of interest in both developed and developing countries , particulary in problems relating to the preservation and development of cultures and values which they express. Khuleifat-the Arab philosopher- was just like Vittgenstein , aware of the limits of language, since language reflected facts as understood rationally.He agrees with Vittgenstein’s understanding of the application of language to express issues in ethics: "Every rule of relative value is a purely expression of facts, and we can formulate it in a form that loses every aspect of value judgment,because absolute value falls outside the realm of facts , "Just as logical necessity is outside the realm of reality ".
