Description

Ideas have consequences. And once in a while those ideas will also be squeezed into slogans, slapped on bumper stickers and tweeted into cyberspace. These compact messages coming at us from all directions regularly compress in a couple of words entire ethical systems. It turns out that there is a lot more to the ideas at the back of these slogans–ideas that want to be sorted out before we make important moral decisions as individuals or as societies. In this revised and expanded edition of Steve Wilkens’s widely-used text, the creator has up to date his introductions to basic ethical systems:

  • cultural relativism
  • ethical egoism
  • utilitarianism
  • behaviorism
  • situation ethics
  • Kantian ethics
  • virtue ethics
  • natural law ethics
  • divine command theory

He has also added two new chapters:

  • evolutionary ethics
  • narrative ethics

With clarity and wit Wilkens unpacks the complicated ideas at the back of the slogans and offers Christian evaluations of each and every.
