Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses moral philosophy through the lens of Christianity. The author argues that morality is best understood as the disposition of the will towards acting in accordance with principles of love for God and other people. Virtue and vice both spring from within the will, and the choice between the two is a matter of choosing to exercise the will in either a selfish or an unselfish manner. The author argues that Christianity is unique among other moral philosophies in positing selflessness as the true nature of virtue, while all other systems ultimately resort to some form of self-love. By analyzing Christian doctrine, alongside other philosophies, the author demonstrates how Christianity alone can provide a foundation for a truly moral life, one that is lived in complete devotion to a being greater than oneself.
