However, neoclassical theory maintains that since man cannot intend to act against utility, the intelligence cannot discern good and evil independent of desire, and every action potentially has sufficient reason.
Virtue is possible in Islamic economics because man can have different intentions, making qualitative choices either for or against God. Virtue is a necessary part of man's total attachment to the Truth, for man has a will to act in addition to an intelligence which knows.
