Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sourcing the major traditions of progressive Christian social ethics--social gospel liberalism, Niebuhrian realism, and liberation theology--Gary Dorrien argues for the social-ethical necessity of social justice politics. In carefully reasoned essays, he focuses on three subjects: the ethics and politics of economic justice, racial and gender justice, and antimilitarism, making a constructive case for economic democracy, along with a liberationist understanding of racial and gender justice and an anti-imperial form of liberal internationalism. In Dorrien's view, the three major discourse traditions of progressive Christian social ethics share a fundamental commitment to transform the structures of society in the direction of social justice. His reflections on these topics feature innovative analyses of major figures, such as Walter Rauschenbusch, Reinhold Niebuhr, James Burnham, Norman Thomas, and Michael Harrington, and an extensive engagement with contemporary intellectuals, such as Rosemary R. Ruether, Katie Cannon, Gregory Baum, and Cornel West. Dorrien also weaves his personal experiences into his narrative, especially his involvement in social justice movements. He includes a special chapter on the 2008 presidential campaign and the historic candidacy of Barack Obama.

Download or read book Social Ethics written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First serialized in 1914, Social Ethics attempts to convince readers that individualist ethics have failed to make the world a safe place for children, and that we cannot progress to a fully social ethics unless we understand the morality of collective action from a specifically sociological point of view. Gilman argues that in order to be fully progressive, ethics must shift from its traditional focus on individual behaviors to the structure, morality, and outcomes of social or group actions. The social ills she addresses in her attempt to advocate for a reexamination of our ethics include topics still relevant today: militarism, waste, religious intolerance, conspicuous consumption, greed, graft, environmental degradation, preventable diseases, and patriarchal oppression in its numerous manifestations. Hill and Deegan's purpose in recovering this forcefully argued book from obscurity is to show not only that Gilman's central arguments remain largely valid and cogent today, but also that Gilman is a major and substantive contributor to the shape and importance of sociology in its formative years. Traditional ethics, Gilman argues, fail to resolve the enduring problems facing society because our received ethical systems are invariably and mistakenly founded on individualist rather than social logics. The shape of our collective future, if it is to be progressive and morally responsible, depends fundamentally on adopting a sociological perspective, and our guiding principle must be to make the world a safe and nurturing place for babies and children. Anything less, in Gilman's view, is morally degenerate. In their carefully considered introduction, Hill and Deegan locate Gilman's personal and professional sociological identity within a network of influential and collegial sociologists, and relate Social Ethics to Gilman's interests in evolutionary thought, Fabian economics, feminist pragmatism, and the cognate work of Thorstein Veblen. The publication of Social Ethics in book form recovers an important theoretical treatise for a new generation of students, scholars, and fans of Gilman's Herland/Ourland saga.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Ethics: An Introduction to the Nature and Ethics of the State Nineteen hundred years ago an exile of the Roman Empire was on a lonely Rock in the Ægean. He was not there because he had done his neighbor wrong, but because he believed in the coming of an organized society which would not rest on injustice. He had even dared to promise the coming of this new social order to the toilers that he met. Standing on this rock lookout the exile saw a new Empire rise such as the world had never known. In it were no slaves, there were none that suffered wrong and the ruler was a workman with calloused hands. While he looked he listened, and through the stillness came a voice. "The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." The exile believed in the vision and the voice. He told what he had seen and heard to others and they with gladness believed with him. It was their confidence that not only is there an individual, but a social soul, to be saved. Before both of them is righteousness and the Kingdom of God and the approach is through a divine man who calls himself The Way. After nineteen centuries the vision of the exile is not realized and those who have trusted in it must still walk by faith. The curse of sin still rests on the fairest works of God.
