Simon Blackburn
Ethics: A Very Short Introduction
Series: Very Short Introductions
Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2003
Softbound, 152 pages
ISBN 978-0-19-280442-6
Our self-image as moral, well-behaved creatures is dogged by scepticism, relativism, hypocrisy, and nihilism. Many fear that in a godless world science has unmasked us as creatures fated by our genes to be selfish and tribalistic, or competitive and aggressive.
This book, previously published as Being Good, provides a "sparklingly clear" (Guardian) introduction to ethics. Simon Blackburn tackles the major moral questions surrounding birth, death, happiness, desire, and freedom. He shows us how we should think about the meaning of life, and how we should mistrust the soundbite sized absolutes that often dominate moral debates. |

A Just & True Love: Feminism at the Frontiers of Theological Ethics: Essays in Honor of Margaret A. Farley
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Press, 2008 г.
Hard cover, 504 стр.
ISBN 0268040257
This interdisciplinary and ecumenical collection of essays honors the transformative work of Margaret A.Farley, Gilbert L.Stark Professor of Christian Ethics at Yale Divinity School, by using it as a starting point for reflection on the contribution of feminist method to theology and ethics. Through a variety of perspectives, contributors show that by resisting classical oppositions between "interpersonal" and "social" ethics and by insisting that social, economic, and political realities be taken seriously in considerations of justice, feminist concerns challenge the very categories of Christian ethics.
With essays ranging from sexual ethics to human rights, medical ethics to freedom, "A Just and True Love" offers a broad perspective on the last twenty-five years of feminist innovation in Christian ethics and a glimpse of its global future, particularly in continents such as Africa. |
