The Question of Christian Ethics

Examines the positions of Gilson and Maritain on the question of the nature of "Christian philosophy" and the possibility of an adequate moral philosophy independent of religious belief.

Summary

McInerny describes how a debate was initiated in the 30s on whether philosophy could have existed in the age of faith. Concerned with the moral aspect of "Christian philosophy", he argues for a Christian ethic that sees the distinction between philosophising and the content of philosophy.
