Publisher Comments:
"God and Morality" evaluates the ethical theories of four principle philosophers, Aristotle, Duns Scotus, Kant, and R.M. Hare.
Uses their thinking as the basis for telling the story of the history and development of ethical thought more broadly
Focuses specifically on their writings on virtue, will, duty, and consequence
Concentrates on the theistic beliefs to highlight continuity of philosophical thought
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.
