Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:God and Moralityevaluates the ethics of four principal philosophers – Aristotle, Duns Scotus, Kant, and R. M. Hare – placing an emphasis on the often circumvented relationship between their ethical theories and theism. While focusing on central concepts such as virtue, will, duty, and consequences, the author never loses sight of the larger context in which these views appear, presenting the work of these philosophers as keys to understanding the historical advancement of ethical thought during four great periods in Western philosophical history. This book defies traditional modes of comparison between these important philosophers by paying close attention not only to differences in their thought, but to significant and sometimes surprising similarities, taking seriously the role of God in their moral theories. Book News Annotation:Hare (philosophical theology, Yale U.) explores the role that
theology, thinking about God, has played in ethical theory within
Western philosophy, pivoting on four figures representing the
conventional periods of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary.
He argues that Aristotle, Duns Scotus, Kant, and R. M. Hare focus
ethical theory respectively on virtue, will, duty, and consequences.
Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:“This is a splendid history of philosophical ethics, with special interest in God’s presence and importance in that perennial enterprise, by one of the leading philosophers of ethics writing today. Hare tops off this surprising, exciting, and unorthodox history with an account of his own that collects together the best features of the theistic ethics of the past. God and Moralityis written with crystal clarity and impressive scholarship.” Robert Roberts, Baylor University About the AuthorJohn E.
