It is an excellent read for the casual reader and recommended to anyone interested in morality and values. Ethicists and theologians will find it enlightening and offering a foundation for evaluating both secular and traditional religious understandings of morality. Philosophers will discover an intriguing challenge to the Kantian (realist) and Humean (sentimentalist) schools of thought, while encountering a refreshing new theory about morality and values. Students will find it be an exciting and easy introduction to moral philosophy. Furthermore, political scientists and human rights activists will find a philosophical basis for the value of human beings and a guide to discovering their rights.

Father Williams explains how the conscience is formed through our training and experiences and informed by the Holy Spirit, making it an essential tool for daily living. He uses familiar and surprising characters to illustrate the positive choices conscience can direct -- and the disaster that results when a conscience is undeveloped or ignored. Questions he tackles include "Is it more important to be smart or good?" "Is there a morally right thing to do in every situation?" and "Is the Christian moral life an exciting adventure, or a necessary burden?" Rich, provocative, and practical for everyday decision making, Knowing Right from Wrong is a must-read for all who hunger for personal holiness.

Can we have objective knowledge of right and wrong, of how we should live and what there is reason to do? The thought that we can is beset by sceptical problems. In the face of radical disagreement, can we be sure that we are not deceived? If the facts are independent of what we think, is our reliability a mere coincidence? Can it be anything but luck when our beliefs are true? In Knowing Right From Wrong, Kieran Setiya confronts these questions in their most compelling and articulate forms: the argument from ethical disagreement; the argument from reliability and coincidence; and the argument from accidental truth. In order to resist the inference from disagreement to scepticism, he argues, we must reject epistemologies of intuition, coherence, and reflective equilibrium. The problem of disagreement can be solved only if the basic standards of epistemology in ethics are biased towards the truth. In order to solve the problem of coincidence, we must embrace arguments for reliability in ethics that rely on ethical beliefs. Such arguments do not beg the question in an epistemically damaging way. And in order to make sense of ethical knowledge as non-accidental truth, we must give up the independence of ethical fact and belief. We can do so without implausible predictions of convergence or relativity if the facts are bound to us through the natural history of human life. If there is objective ethical knowledge, human nature is its source.

Morality has occupied the minds of men since the first spear was raised in anger. But what is morality? What does it mean to be moral? And how do we determine what falls outside the bounds of ethical discussion? Mr. Cooney develops a unique moral theory in which he isolates and explores the core of morality. He contends that in common usage it reveals an ultimate and all-but-universal guide to action, a guide that provides the basis for delcaring some actions (e.g., murder, arson, assault, robbery, etc.) to be wrong, while it considers other types of behavior (e.g., homosexuality, gambling, drinking, abortion, etc.) to be matters of politics and opinion rather than morality. Mr. Cooney separates actual from apparent moral issues and, in doing so, seeks to spare society needless and potentially disastrous confrontations. He offers a firm response to those who claims that morality is ultimately relative. -- From publisher's description.

A lively and entertaining guide to ethics in a technological age. Most people have a strong sense of right and wrong, and they aren't shy about expressing their opinions. But when we take a polarizing stand on something we regard as an eternal truth, we often forget that ethics evolve over time. Many shifts in the right versus wrong pendulum are driven by advances in technology. Our great-grandparents might be shocked by in vitro fertilization; our great-grandchildren might be shocked by the messiness of pregnancy, childbirth, and unedited genes. In Right/Wrong, Juan Enriquez reflects on what happens to our ethics as technology makes the once unimaginable a commonplace occurrence.
