Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a system of ethics that is both robust and grounded in the idea that the basis of right and wrong is the nature of God as perfect being. Drawing from various philosophical traditions, the author argues that the moral law depends upon a personal source, and positing the source of good and right in man's subjective rational being is not satisfactory. The author believes that morality is surcharged with joy in contemplating ethical excellence and trying to incarnate it in human life. It has Spartan sterlingness without Spartan austerity. The author also believes that conscience is a divinely implanted functioning power of the mind, a specialized faculty for perceiving and sensing Moral Distinctions. The author further argues that man is in the world to perform, willingly and gladly, a definite moral task, and to achieve a moral destiny that is eternal.
