A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Ethical Being seeks to teach people how to make ethical decisions. The author refuses to offer pat answers on the complex and sensitive moral dilemmas facing us as individuals and as a society. Instead, he uses the framework of Catholic moral and social teaching to walk readers through the steps to understanding how to choose rightly. The book addresses hot-button items such as same-sex marriage, new reproductive technologies, embryonic stem-cell research, just war tradition, economic globalization, consumer culture and poverty. The book ends with a conclusion that encourages readers to be good lay ethicists, which means asking critical questions of society and our unexamined practices. Key Features: - Ideal for undergraduate university courses - Suitable for general-interest Christian market and spiritual seekers - An up-to-date guide to Catholic moral and social teaching
