Did the Gulf War defend moral principle or Western oil interests?
Is violent pornography an act of free speech or an act of violence
against women? In "Casuistry and Modern Ethics," Richard B. Miller
sheds new light on the potential of casuistry--case-based
reasoning--for resolving these and other questions of conscience
raised by the practical quandaries of modern life.
Rejecting the packaging of moral experience within simple
descriptions and inflexible principles, Miller argues instead for
identifying and making sense of the ethically salient features of
individual cases. Because this practical approach must cope with a
diverse array of experiences, Miller draws on a wide variety of
diagnostic tools from such fields as philosophy of science, legal
reasoning, theology, literary theory, hermeneutics, and moral
philosophy.
Opening new avenues for practical reasoning, Miller's
interdisciplinary work will challenge scholars who are interested
in the intersections of ethics and political philosophy, cultural
criticism, and debates about method in religion and morality.
