Abstract
This book chapter by CSS’ Emanuel Schäublin describes the challenges of a distinct aspect of ethical formalism, that of quantification, and the tension between calculation and the incalculable in many ethical traditions. It explores this tension in the context of Sunni Islam, where adhering to religious rules in one’s personal conduct is often assumed to gain one points in a divine system of bookkeeping.
