Description
Joseph Fletcher's Situation Ethics presents a provocative reformation of morality, proposing an ethic of loving concern that challenges traditional notions of right and wrong. In this influential work, published in 1966, Fletcher argues that certain acts, such as lying or premarital sex, might be morally justifiable under specific circumstances. This book has sparked intense debate on television, in magazines, newspapers, churches, and classrooms, with many regarding it as a powerful force in contemporary discussions of morality. The Library of Theological Ethics series presents this text in easily accessible form, enabling sustained dialogue with predecessors through reflection on classic works in the field.
