| Description: |
Ethics
This informative book by and about Joseph Fletcher provides a vivid overview of this very influential man who - through his warmth, support, loyalty, and inspiration-changed the course of American ethics and pioneered the field of biothics. In his highly debated book Situation Ethics: The New Morality, Fletcher garnered wide attention by advocating a methodology for decision making (based on the principle of love) that presupposed individual responsibility and declared that every person must decide for himself or herself what is right. From this premise he inferred that nay act-even lying, premarital sex, abortion, adultery, or murder-could be right, depending on circumstances. |
