Description
The Disappearance of Ethics: The Gifford Lectures Oliver O'Donovan explores the current state of ethics, arguing that it has lost its core concepts of good, time, and person. Drawing on the work of influential thinkers from ancient Greece to modern times, including Aristotle, Augustine, and Max Scheler, O'Donovan examines how ethics has become disconnected from its fundamental principles. Through a nuanced analysis of theological concepts such as creation and justification, O'Donovan seeks to revitalize ethical argument with a deeper understanding of the human experience. His lectures offer a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between ethics and philosophy, shedding new light on the field's purpose and potential for renewal. Scholars and students of Christian ethics will find O'Donovan's work both thought-provoking and inspiring, as he seeks to recover ethics by integrating theology and philosophy.
