The Moral Life : Eight Lectures, Hardback Book

The Moral Life : Eight Lectures Hardback

Part of the Martin J. D'Arcy, SJ Memorial Lectures series

Hardback

Description

A profound inquiry into what prompts human beings to act morallyMost foundational texts on theological ethics address either the person or society.

In The Moral Life, James F. Keenan, SJ, posits that these two are inextricably linked.

He presents eight stages of preparing for the moral life, describing vulnerability as the foundation for contemporary ethics.

He understands vulnerability to be what establishes the human capacity for recognizing and responding to others rather than a compromised state of being.

Mutual recognition emerges as the first moral act of the vulnerable human.

He shows how conscience guides the activity of one who has first vulnerably recognized others.

The Moral Life offers scholars and students of Christian ethics a novel perspective on what we need to know not only to be and live morally but also to teach and share with others what they need to know.
