Ethics And The Golden Rule, Harry Gensler, S.J. Dec 2012

Ethics And The Golden Rule, Harry Gensler, S.J.

Harry J. Gensler, S.J.

Harry J. Gensler defends the golden rule and addresses all of the major philosophic objections, pointing out several common misunderstanding and misapplications. Gensler first discusses golden-rule reasoning and how to avoid the main pitfalls. He then relates the golden rule to world religions and history, and to areas like moral education, egoism, evolution, society, racism, business, and medicine. The book ends with a discussion of theoretical issues (like whether all morality reduces to the golden rule, which the author argues against).

Darwin, Ethics And Evolution, Harry Gensler, S.J. Dec 2008

Darwin, Ethics And Evolution, Harry Gensler, S.J.

Harry J. Gensler, S.J.

This coherent collection of original papers marks the 150 year anniversary since the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species (1859). Although the area of evolution-related publications is vast, the area of interaction between Darwinian ideas and specifically Catholic doctrine has received limited attention. This interaction is quite distinct from the one between Darwinism and the Christian tradition in general. Interest in Darwin from the Catholic viewpoint has recently been rekindled.

Formal Ethics, Harry Gensler, S.J. Dec 1995

Formal Ethics, Harry Gensler, S.J.

Harry J. Gensler, S.J.

Formal Ethics is the study of formal ethical principles. The most important of these, perhaps even the most important principle of life, is the golden rule: "Treat others as you want to be treated". Although the golden rule enjoys support amongst different cultures and religions in the world, philosophers tend to neglect it. Formal Ethics gives the rule the attention it deserves.
