Download or read book Law s Virtues written by Cathleen Kaveny and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the law promote moral values even in pluralistic societies such as the United States? Drawing upon important federal legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, legal scholar and moral theologian Cathleen Kaveny argues that it can. In conversation with thinkers as diverse as Thomas Aquinas, Pope John Paul II, and Joseph Raz, she argues that the law rightly promotes the values of autonomy and solidarity. At the same time, she cautions that wise lawmakers will not enact mandates that are too far out of step with the lived moral values of the actual community. According to Kaveny, the law is best understood as a moral teacher encouraging people to act virtuously, rather than a police officer requiring them to do so. In Law’s Virtues Kaveny expertly applies this theoretical framework to the controversial moral-legal issues of abortion, genetics, and euthanasia. In addition, she proposes a moral analysis of the act of voting, in dialogue with the election guides issued by the US bishops. Moving beyond the culture wars, this bold and provocative volume proposes a vision of the relationship of law and morality that is realistic without being relativistic and optimistic without being utopian.

Download or read book After Virtue written by Alasdair MacIntyre and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of ethics and morality today.
Download or read book Towards Situating Solidarity in a Thomistic Understanding of Virtue written by Godswill Uchenna Agbagwa and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of speaking of solidarity as a virtue of interdependence appeared in Catholic Social Teaching (CST) toward the end of the 20th century. As he travelled the world, Pope John Paul II (1978-2005) was struck by the widening gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots" resulting in widespread poverty and underdevelopment. John Paul II attributed this problem to the decline in the concern for common good. He then proposed solidarity as a "path to true development" arguing that in a de facto interdependent world, it is by embracing solidarity as a virtue of interdependence that we can be better disposed to challenge the status quo (SRS, 38). Although the phenomenon of solidarity is as old as humanity, its development as a virtue of interdependence in Catholic social teaching raises questions about its plausibility as a true virtue in traditional virtue ethics. While some thinkers argue that solidarity is more the absence of a fault than a virtue, others defend it as a virtue based on Thomistic virtue theory. Still, amongst thinkers that defend it as a virtue, opinions are divided whether it is a virtue of justice or charity. John Paul II, the first to name solidarity a virtue was not clear on this. This dissertation settles this controversy by arguing that solidarity is a virtue fitting in the moral virtue category, but occupying space of its own in the Thomistic schema. Thus, chapter one investigates the origin of solidarity as a response to interdependence prior to emergence in CST. Chapter two looks into its emergence in CST as a virtue of interdependence. Chapter three examines the concept of virtue in virtue ethics. In the light of the basic characteristics of Thomistic virtue ethics, chapter four argues that as a virtue necessitated by and particularly suited for contemporary interdependence, solidarity can be situated as a virtue fitting in the moral virtue category, but occupying space of its own in the schema.
