The Future of Ethics (e-book) (used book) | Willis Jenkins | bookbook.eu

Description

The Future of Ethics interprets the big questions of sustainability and social justice through the practical problems arising from humanity's increasing power over basic systems of life. What does climate change mean for our obligations to future generations? How can the sciences work with pluralist cultures in ways that will help societies learn from ecological change? By integrating environmental sciences and theological ethics into problem-based engagements with philosophy, economics, and other disciplines, Willis Jenkins illustrates the wide understanding and moral creativity needed to live well in the new conditions of human power. He shows the significance of religious thought to the development of interdisciplinary responses to sustainability issues and how this calls for a new style of religious ethics.
