Opis

This philosophically rigorous defense of moral realism from a Christian ethical perspective critiques the antirealist and naturalistic ethical theories that dismiss the idea of objectively knowable and universally valid moral truths. It seeks to reset the state of debate on ethical objectivism and subjectivism among Christian thinkers.

Recenzje

"This work goes against the tide in a manner that is most refreshing. It shuns shallow intellectual trends in order to present a nuanced conception of morality and the possibility to know things about moral matters. This furthermore is done in a way that tears down unhelpful dichotomizations between philosophy and theology. The claims in this book are as brave as the level of argumentation is high." —Per Sundman, Uppsala University, Sweden
