Ethics and Theology Connection
- 6. Tolerance of the Believer Tolerance of the Sceptic What makes my beliefs true is the world What makes my beliefs true is ME Relativism Objectivism Not every view is correct because the world just is one way. Every view is equally correct since every “ME” is different.
- 10. The Purpose of Life “ All people comprise a single community and have a single origin—God. One also is their final goal—God.” (Nostra Aetate, §1) Good Bad GOD Jesus
Editor's Notes
- Reminders available on assessment form. Video instructions for both of these in the How To section of the Navigator
- Polleverywhere not working last time due to back-to-school demand on the system a couple questions appeared later on
- Is there anything that’s always wrong to do? Ask them to write for about a minute on this Ask what those who wrote down something said Now, WHY are these things wrong? WHAT MAKES THEM wrong? maybe against God maybe against nature Christian view is that those things come together because God created (human) nature [Charles Rice] Or maybe just say that their difficulty in finding an answer to the ‘why?’ question (let alone to PROVING one) leads some to the position of moral relativism Ask those who couldn’t think of anything why there’s nothing that fits into this category [next slide]
- If morality is relative to individuals or societies, then what? How should we encounter differences? we should be tolerant, open-minded Problem?
- What is this a criticism of?
- Thinking of an action…. What do you need to know about it to characterize it morally? If consequentialism is right, then nothing is every absolutely wrong Everything has it’s price Make me a good enough offer, and you can get me to do ANYTHING
- studfinder Why don’t you use a toaster to dry your hair? That’s not what toasters are for What happens when you use a toaster to dry your hair? Bad things What do you think that tells you? Rice: gas is good for a car, but bad for a person So: good has something to do with purpose What do you think when you hear that word “ethics”? derived from a Greek word meaning “stall” or pen for animals why do we restrict animals that are in our care? so that they remain safe, don’t hurt others, and grow so ethics has a sense of restrictions that promote proper growth and development at which point we slaughter the cows, butcher and pigs, and the analogy breaks down Kushner’s statement: if you understand what that means, put your thumb up JPII—what are all these things in quotations?
