| Title: | Ethics at the Edges of Law |
| Subtitle: | Christian Moralists and American Legal Thought |
| Authors: | Author: Cathleen Kaveny |
| Page Count: | 328 |
| Subjects: | Religious ethics, Religious ethics, Christianity, Methods, theory and philosophy of law, Christianity, Jurisprudence & philosophy of law, USA |
| Description: | Select Guide Rating In Ethics at the Edges of Law, Cathleen Kaveny argues that religious moralists should treat the law as a valuable conversation partner, rather than a mere instrument for enforcing judgments about morality and public policy. Using cases and concepts from tort law, contract law, and criminal law, Kaveny shows how they can be used to illuminate the work of some of the most important contemporary Christian ethicists. Ethics at the Edges of Law makes the case that religious moralists should treat the discipline of law as a valuable conversation partner, rather than reducing it to a vehicle for enforcing judgments about morality and public policy. Religious moralists should treat the secular law as a source of moral wisdom and conceptual insight, in the same way that they treat the discipline of philosophy. Cathleen Kaveny develops her argument by showing how the work of a range of important contemporary figures in Christian ethics, including John Noonan, Stanley Hauerwas, and Margaret Farley, can be enriched and illuminated by engagement with particular aspects of the American legal tradition. The book is divided into three parts: Part I, "Narratives and Norms," examines how the workings of the legal tradition can shed light on the development of religious and moral traditions. Part II, "Love, Justice, and Law," uses particular legal cases and controversies to advance questions about the relationship of love and justice in Christian ethics. Part III, "Legal Categories and Theological Problems," shows how legal categories and concepts can help reframe and even resolve particular moral controversies within religious communities. Ethics at the Edges of Law jumpstarts a fruitful, mutually engaged conversation between the American legal tradition and the tradition of Christian ethics. |
