Description

In The Peaceable Kingdom Stanley Hauerwas claims that “to start out by asking what’s the relation between theology and ethics is to have already made a mistake.” Hauerwas’s claim, and his contribution toward a socially constituted and historically embodied account of the ethical life and moral reason, are incessantly charged with sectarianism, relativism, and tribalism. Emmanuel Katongole defends Hauerwas’s dismissal of the standard philosophical “problem” of the relation between ethics and religion. It’s, he argues, a part of Hauerwas’s wider try to put aside the dominant Kantian moral tradition. Standard fare in moral philosophy, inspired by that tradition, fosters a highly formal, ahistorical view of ethics that doesn’t do justice to our experience of ourselves as moral agents.
