In The Peaceable Kingdom Stanley Hauerwas claims that "to begin by
asking what is the relation between theology and ethics is to have
already made a mistake." Hauerwas's claim, and his contribution
toward a socially constituted and historically embodied account of
the moral life and moral reason, are often charged with
sectarianism, relativism, and tribalism. Emmanuel Katongole defends
Hauerwas's dismissal of the traditional philosophical "problem" of
the relation between ethics and religion. It is, he argues, part of
Hauerwas's wider attempt to set aside the dominant Kantian moral
tradition. Standard fare in moral philosophy, inspired by that
tradition, fosters a highly formal, ahistorical view of ethics that
does not do justice to our experience of ourselves as moral agents.
