%X This article is concerned with the problem of the relationship between knowledge and value because the ethical theory of Mu¡®tazila has an importance in the Mediaeval Age Muslim world. Contrary to Ash¡¯ar¨©tes, Mu¡®tazila has supported that some objective value terms whether a religion is sent or not, good, bad, and necessary can be known via wisdom with reference to the relationship of knowledge-value. Mu¡®tazila supports objectivism in the scope of ethical values; however, we can describe such an objectivist thought, which is supported by them and receives its necessity completely from God, as ¡°divine objectivism¡±, so to speak. These values were placed in both world of objectives and human mind only by God at the beginning. According to Mu¡®tazila, both wisdom and narration are the essential sources about knowing value concepts like good and bad. Therefore, the wisdom that is supported by Mu¡®tazila can be accepted as ¡°partial rationalism¡±. Consequently, according to the ethical system of Mu¡®tazila, human can sustain a moral life by using the competent mind given by God at the beginning of creation
