Excerpt from The Threshold of Ethics
IN the following chapters I have tried to consider, in the briefest fashion, and with the least possible use of technical language, some of the crucial introductory problems which have to be faced by anyone who proposes to read, think or teach about ethics in general or Christian ethics in particular. Even if the book serves no other purpose than to illustrate the importance of ridding oneself of vagueness and ambiguity in the use of some of the com monest words in the language, the time spent upon it will not have been wasted. The chapter headings should indicate sufficiently the subjects which, in spite of all that has been written about them, seem still to require pains taking scrutiny from all to whom the problems of conduct are of serious concern.
I have to thank my friend, the Rev. J. S. Bezzant, Fellow of Exeter College and Chancellor-designate of Liverpool Cathedral, for his great kindness in reading the proofs.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex realm of ethics, exploring the crucial problems encountered when thinking, reading, or teaching about moral principles, particularly within a Christian framework. The author emphasizes the significance of clarity and precision in using common ethical terms, advocating for a thoughtful examination of concepts like conscience, psychology, evolution, humanism, conscientiousness, and religion. The book traces the historical development of the idea of conscience, highlighting its central role in Christian ethical tradition. It distinguishes between the judicial and guiding functions of conscience, emphasizing the individual's right and responsibility to critically evaluate established moral systems and form personal ethical standards. This exploration contrasts the Christian perspective with pre-Christian thought, where conformity to established laws and customs was often prioritized over individual conscience. The author delves into the challenges posed by modern psychology and anthropology to traditional ethical concepts, questioning notions of free will and the origins of moral beliefs. The book confronts the tension between the pursuit of self-interest and the call of duty, examining how external factors and consequences influence our moral decision-making. Through a rigorous analysis of ethical principles, this book provides valuable insights into the nature of conscience and its enduring relevance in navigating the complexities of human conduct.
